- Microsoft plans to activate Age Signals in 2026; currently, the APIs return an unknown age range and an unavailable verification status.
- GetUserAgeRangeAsync distinguishes five groups: under 10, 10–12, 13–15, 16–17, and 18 years or older.
- A separate query is intended to show whether an identity provider independently confirmed the user’s age.
- Germany currently has no form of age verification; data-protection legality depends on the use case and legal basis.
