Inappropriate ads in kids apps

My 7 yr old is playing a 4+ kids game and keeps getting ads for Puzzles and Survivals (and 12+ game) where two adults (woman in busting out of her bikini and man in underwear) are making out and get caught have to run away... I turn it off right away but I can't make it stop. That's not cool for kids that are 12 either by the way... but why do ads like that appear as little kid ads? So frustrating.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi there,


Sign in with your Apple ID here to Report a Quality Issue. (Report a Problem)


Content Privacy & Restrictions < These won't prevent ads on free-to-play apps to appear but can help.


Once the application's approved, it is the developers responsibility to continue to keep the application to a standard and Apple guidelines. Unfortunately that is not always the case.


When possible download apps that are not free to play, especially for kids.

If the app doesn't require internet connection (rare), turn on airplane mode.


This is overall a great resource > Internet Maters , I don't know of a US equivalent, it covers a wide range of topics.
