ChatGPT via Apple Intelligence not recognizing my age

When I use visual intelligence it states I must be 13 years or older to use ChatGPT. I have tried changing my age via my on device Apple account as well as Apples website from 1987 to 1986 which works momentarily, but reverts back after a short while restricting my use again. Is this a bug? Thank you.

I had the same issue on my iPhone where I couldn't use Visual Intelligence because the system said I had to be at least 13 years old. Both my Apple ID and my ChatGPT account already had my correct age, so the message made no sense.


I finally found the cause:


iCloud → Apple ID → Personal Information → Age Group for Apps


The setting "Share with Apps" was not set to Always.


After switching it to Always, Visual Intelligence started working immediately.
