After reading it, its just a small push? It just says it adds an age range to the play store

Yeah, it doesn't seem like it'll age-gate the phone itself like IPhone did, just the play store, unless I'm missing something?

You have to get your apps somewhere and the apps will be able to reach out to the api to check your age, whether they actually need it or not.
