Upcoming: New age rating content descriptors in App Store Connect
Starting November 16, 2026, App Store Connect's age rating questionnaire will add two new content descriptors: Shared Location and Dating and Relationships, which developers must declare when submitting updates or changing age ratings. All apps must complete these declarations by January 12, 2027; apps with dating features get a minimum 18+ rating, while Brazil requires A16 for Shared Location and A18 for Dating and Relationships, with an option to request an official rating from Brazil's Ministry of Justice.
What this means for indie developers：Apps with location sharing or social/companion features should update their age rating declarations soon to avoid blocked submissions and rating issues, especially in Brazil.
