  "textContent": "Ok guys well as of yesterday Apple have added a setting to verify you are over 18. It is being rolled out apparently. It states if you do not verify you will be blocked from doing certain things on the phone. I know this is not an Apple thing just implementing stuff from certain countries like the UK. However, they suggest using a credit card as you can only get one when over 18. You can use the camera for a quick fix but I had to try manually and could not work out how to add a phone number which sounds daft. I think it is you don't need to put the country code in so in the uk instead of 07 just use 7 my sighted partner managed to do this. However, it then wants you to make it your default payment option which I did not want to do and I haven't found a way of not making it as such. So, if you have not yet seen this setting I fear it is coming. I don't think it is just for the UK either based on a quick google search. Oh and not sure which forum to put this so if the mods want to change it feel free.",
