On March 22, Discord announced that it had to update its age rating from 12+ to 17+ upon Apple's request. This means that any minor with an Apple ID would not be able to download the Discord app if parental controls were on. A 17+ age rating is not ideal for an app directed at young teens.
How old should you be to use Discord? Discord requires that users be at least 13 years old, although they don't verify users' age upon signup. Common Sense Media also recommends that Discord users be at least 13 due to its open chat.
Age restriction: Discord requires users to be at least 13 years old, though parents can enforce this by monitoring sign-up processes. Privacy settings: These user settings allow kids to control who can send them friend requests, direct messages (DMs), and see their activity status.
WHY IS DISCORD ASKING FOR MY BIRTHDAY? Discord's Terms of Service requires people to be over a minimum age to access our app or website, so we are introducing a system to verify that users satisfy that minimum age requirement.
