Summary
Starting January 1, 2026, Texas law SB2420 requires app developers to enforce age assurance by collecting personal information to ensure users are verified as adults when downloading apps. This law will affect all users creating new Apple Accounts in Texas. Developers will need to implement new APIs to manage these requirements while striving to maintain user privacy and safety for minors, with a parallel set of requirements anticipated in Utah and Louisiana.
