  • You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We’ve estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you’re a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We’re launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.

    Yeah I noticed this, but the “kinds of servers you’re a part of” line is what caught my eye.

    I wonder how they categorize servers and what they use to determine this.

      Ah, apologies. I absolutely misunderstood your comment. I definitely need to wake up more before I comment but at least the info is now here for people to see at a glance.

        Honey, you’re golden, I think it’s important to note that they claim they aren’t looking at people’s messages.

      I don’t see myself in a “fortnite” server, as I don’t see kids on a “home_owners” server for example.
