⚡ TL;DR Claude requires users to be 18 or older. In some US states, app stores share age data; if yours says under 18, you may not sign in. Fix it with Apple or Google, not Anthropic.

🔞 The Claude Minimum Age

Claude requires users to be 18 or older.

📱 App Store Age Signals

In some US states, app stores share users' age information with developers, and Claude uses it to enforce the requirement.

🚫 If You're Restricted

If your app store lists you as under 18, you may be unable to create an account or sign in through the mobile app.

💡 Pro tip Check your Apple ID or Google account birthday first; family groups often set it.

🛠️ Fixing It

Anthropic can't see or change app store age data. Contact Apple Support or Google Play Support; if a parent set it via a family group, they may need to update it.

Age checks are handled by app stores, not Claude. Questions about AI policy for your company? Lord Of The Wix can help. ✨
