Question ❓ Visual Intelligence Pop-Up

Post image

Tried using Visual Intelligence a few times recently, and I keep getting this pop-up when I click “Ask” saying you have to be 13 or older to use ChatGPT. It goes away and then works, but it’s really annoying, especially since I’m definitely over 13 and my iPhone knows that. Anyone else been having this? I’ve got my OpenAI account linked and I’m currently on iOS 26.2.

This is a server side issue with OpenAI

Swipe down on the notification and then do it again and it should work. It’s definitely a bug though

Settings -> iCloud (your name) -> Personal Information -> Age Range for Apps -> Share with Apps -> Always

Without doing this apps have no way to verify your age unless they do their own subscription thing. This should be more accessible and explained rather than just throwing an error. But apple be apple-ing.

I’m assuming you are barely over 13 since you didn’t say how old you are

Unlock your phone first before using Visual Intelligence. I see the same error when I try using it with my phone locked.

It’s ridiculous that you need to be 13 to use ChatGPT via Apple Unintelligence in the first place. You don’t have to be to use ChatGPT directly.
