Windows 11 to Infer User Age for App Personalization

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 to allow applications to infer a user's age without directly requesting their birthday. This new feature aims to enhance personalization by enabling apps to tailor content and experiences based on estimated age groups.

While the system will provide age-related data to apps, Microsoft has stated that it will not share the user's actual birthdate. This approach seeks to balance user privacy with the desire for more relevant app interactions, allowing developers to create age-appropriate features and content.
