Hi,
Regarding the Brazil Digital ECA (DECA) requirements, which became effective on March 17, 2026. Following the guidance for regulated regions, we have been testing the eligibility check with the iOS 26.4 release. We previously confirmed that isEligibleForAgeFeatures was returning true for users in the Brazil region, which allowed us to verify our age-gating implementation.
A few questions follow on this eligibility check:
We have observed in manual testing that specific devices which returned true as recently as March 23rd are now returning false today, despite no changes to the OS build or account settings. Does this indicate a change in the server-side eligibility heuristics?
Why would isEligibleForAgeFeatures stop returning true for a region where the law is now in force?
Has the guidance on how to evaluate these properties for Brazil changed with the transition to the stable 26.4 release?
Thank you!
