Download a 12+ app on a 9 year old iPad

Hello! My daughter wants to download an app that’s older than her ID age - I’ve looked into the app and I’m happy for her to have it…… but I cannot work out how to get her iPad to allow her to download - I’ve check from bother her side and mine. Is there a way to do it or will she just have to walk till she older?


thanks!

There is not much you can do. The developer of the app is the one that sets the age restrictions based on the content their app contains. This is the type of content that will require the 12+ rating:

  • Infrequent or mild medical or treatment-focused content
  • Infrequent or mild references to alcohol, tobacco, or drug use
  • Infrequent or mild sexual content or nudity
  • Frequent or intense contests
  • Frequent or intense profanity or crude humor
  • Frequent or intense horror or fear themed content
  • Frequent or intense cartoon or fantasy violence
  • Infrequent or mild occurrences of realistic violence
  • Infrequent or mild simulated gambling
