Tracking setting minimum age requirements

Hello,

I've just switched to iPhone, from Android, and I'm trying to login to some game account that wants me to enable tracking. When I enter the settings the option is grayed out under the "this setting cannot be changed because your apple id doesn't meet the age minimum requirements"

However I'm 26 years old, and when I made an apple account for my Mac 3 months ago, it is 26 years old. Anyone knows why can't I change the tracking? I read somewhere that my apple id should be 3 days old but I created it with my mac..

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Greetings ReemHarel, 


As you’re attempting to enable location services on your iPhone, are you doing so using the following steps? Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


How to give apps permission to use your location
Some apps might not work unless you turn on Location Services.1 The first time an app needs to access your Location Services information, you'll get a notification asking for permission. Choose one of these options:
• Tap Allow to let the app use Location Services information as needed. 
• Tap Don't Allow to prevent access.2
• Tap Ask Next Time Or When I Share to choose Always While Using App, Allow Once, or Don't Allow.

iOS and iPadOS devices might use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to determine your location. GPS and cellular location are available on iPhone and iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) models.

How to turn Location Services on or off for specific apps
1. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
2. Make sure that Location Services is on.
3. Scroll down to find the app.
4. Tap the app and select an option:
• Never: Prevents access to Location Services information.
• Ask Next Time Or When I Share: This allows you to choose Always While Using App, Allow Once, or Don't Allow.
• While Using the App: Allows access to Location Services only when the app or one of its features is visible on screen. If an app is set to While Using the App, you might see your status bar turn blue with a message that an app is actively using your location.
• Always: Allows access to your location even when the app is in the background.

From here, apps should provide an explanation of how the app will use your location information. Some apps might offer only two options.


Thanks.
