Minecraft for 7 year old

Hi! My son just got his own ipad for his 7th birthday. I'm trying to set-up Minecraft on it, and it's not allowing me to do so. I'm assuming it has something to do with parental controls and that the app is intended for ages 9 and older. The icloud account is set-up in his name with his actual age and we have family sharing turned on. Any way to bypass this?


Thanks!

Hello, Misalo876.


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. Happy Birthday to your son! We understand that you'd like to install Minecraft on his new iPad, but are having trouble doing so.


Do you see a specific message when trying to download Minecraft? You may want to check Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Apps for any age restrictions. Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
