Google will expand age checks on Android worldwide by the end of the year. The company announced the expansion of its Play Signal API to users globally by the end of 2026. The technology, already available in Brazil, allows Android developers to identify younger users of their apps to provide safer, age-appropriate experiences. The expansion will initially bring the API to Australia and Canada by mid-August before rolling out globally to all markets by the end of the year.
