Age rating in app store

Why do app list 17+ when their contacts specifically state 18+. Very misleading. ESP for dating app that kids are trying to use.

Hi question for Apple,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post correctly, you have a question about Age Ratings in the App Store.


Can you clarify what you mean when you say their contacts state 18+?


Generally speaking, you can find information about the Age Rating by navigating to the app's listing in the App Store and then tapping Age Rating; this will provide information as to why an app may have a specific rating.


If you want to restrict content on a device, check out the "Prevent explicit content and content ratings" section of this link to see if that helps: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


I hope this information helps you! Take care.
