Under 13 on Family sharing should be able to change to an age +13 with parental consent

My dad accidentally put my age as 11 but im turning 16 soon. And there is no possible way of changing it unless i wait until I’m 18 which is an invasion of my privacy. How am I supposed to change it if the only way is to move to another family in where I’ll still have to wait. I tried every possible way but they wont even let me log out of my Apple account. You should be able to change the age no matter what with parental consent or atleast some form of ID. I dont want to be watched until i turn 18.

No one can change the date for someone under the age of 13. Your father can contact Apple Support and have them fix the date. You shouldn't have to wait for years.

For starters, I do give you credit at a young age for taking the initiative to resolve your issue! Here’s how you update your Apple ID age:


  • Sign in to appleid.apple.com.
  • Select Personal Information, then choose Birthday. 
  • Update your birth date and click Save. If you're changing a birth date for a child, learn what to do.


If you have more questions, ask us here, were always here to help!
