Without verification you will be restricted from accessing websites with adult content and images that contain adult content that are sent to you will be blurred.

I have none of those

If you are in the UK, then you should expect restrictions on your device to comply with the UK law and prevent content from being displayed that they have determined may be harmful to those that cannot prove they are an adult.


Apple has chosen those 7 types of identification to do that and in some cases are able to verify themselves when an Apple Account has been created at least18 years ago, which would mean you are now an adult.
