I think this will be something additional to the existing ID apps. It seems to me that one of the ways to verify your age on the new EU app is with one of those existing ID apps.
What’s a little confusing to me is that Von der Leyen refers to ‘the app’, but in other news stories I get the sense that each EU country is expected to create and implement their own version of this app. I also wonder if these country-specific apps will be bound by the same open source development as the core EU app currently is.
