""With the release of iOS 26.4 Apple has introduced the world's first ever device-based age verification solution for its users in the UK, a major first step towards a global solution that stands to better protect children everywhere," said Alex Kekesi, head of community and brand at Aylo."
"In October 2025 it said traffic from UK users had plunged by more than 75% following the introduction of more robust age checks - though some have questioned whether people were simply using VPNs instead."
Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, announced that it will allow some UK users access to the site again following the introduction of Apple's device-level age verification with iOS 26.4. Aylo criticized the uneven application of the Online Safety Act's age verification rules across the industry. The new iOS update enables age checks for UK iPhone users, which Aylo believes is a significant step towards protecting children from explicit content. This change comes after a significant drop in traffic from UK users due to previous age verification measures.
