Meta Implements Mandatory Age Verification for Quest Users
The new policy aims to enhance safety and provide age-appropriate experiences for Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 users.
- Meta announces mandatory age verification for Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 users to ensure access to age-appropriate content and settings.
- Users have 30 days from receiving a prompt to verify their age by entering their birthdate in their Meta Account.
- Three age groups are defined for Meta Quest accounts: Adults (18+), Teens (13-17), and Preteens (10-12), each with specific settings and restrictions.
- Incorrectly entered birthdates can be corrected by verifying identity with an ID or credit card.
- The initiative aims to provide safer virtual environments for youths and enhance developers' understanding of their audience.
