The new legislation, known as the App Store Accountability Act, will require operators of mobile phone app marketplaces, such as Apple and Google, to limit access to app downloads for minors without parental consent.
Texas has already passed a similar bill targeting adult websites, resulting in dozens of sites — including major platforms like Pornhub — being blocked in the state since early last year. The law imposed age verification mandates similar to those proposed in the newly passed legislation, and many sites complied. However, Pornhub and other websites owned by its parent company, Aylo, chose to block access to Texans instead.

Texas has passed the App Store Accountability Act, which requires Apple and Google to verify the age of users before they can download apps or make in-app purchases on their platforms within the state. As a result, Apple will require users creating a new Apple account in Texas to confirm they are 18 years or older. For users under 18, the law mandates that they join a Family Sharing Group managed by an adult. This adult must verify their own age and legal authority over the minor, and they will be responsible for approving all app downloads, purchases, and in-app transactions made by the minor.
Apple has expressed concerns that this law will require the collection of sensitive personally identifiable information, even for simple apps like weather or sports updates, which could pose significant privacy and safety risks. The company has stated it will comply with the law but is developing new privacy-preserving APIs to help developers verify user age and parental consent status without storing sensitive data. However, the specific methods Apple will use to verify an adult's identity or to prove a user is over 18 are not yet detailed.
It is important to note that this requirement applies specifically to Apple accounts created in Texas and is tied to the state's age verification law, not to Gmail accounts or other third-party services. The law does not mandate that users prove their adult status through a government-issued ID or similar document, but the verification process will be managed through Apple’s systems, likely involving the Family Sharing Group setup. The law is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, if not challenged.
