Apple ID for 9+ game (Among Us)

My son (aged 9) cannot sign in to an app using his Apple ID even though the game is rated 9 (Among Us). To use Apple ID in games you need to be 13+. Is there any work around?

Same. It’s a 9+ game. There’s no other way to sign into the game either. The only work around I can think of is to create a new Apple account and put in a false DOB - kind of defeats the point.

As his parent, I should be able to make the decision, not Apple.

Saying it's the app developer's fault, while true, is deflecting the real issue.


It shouldn't matter what the app developers do or don't do - parents should be able to grant permission around what their children play or watch, not be subject to a blanket Apple policy. As my child's parent and manager of their ID in Family Sharing, I should be able to approve or disapprove on a case by case basis.
