Aylo, Pornhub's parent company, will restore access to the site in the UK through Apple's device-level age verification system in iOS 26.4. The move requires users to complete age verification before accessing the platform.
Pornhub has been inaccessible in the UK since late 2023 after the site failed to implement age verification measures required under British regulations. Aylo's restoration plan leverages Apple's native age verification technology, allowing iOS users to regain access following identity confirmation.
The implementation addresses regulatory pressure from the UK government and Online Safety Bill requirements, which mandate age assurance for adult content platforms. By integrating with iOS 26.4's device-level system, Aylo avoids developing its own verification infrastructure.
The announcement does not specify whether Android users or non-Apple device owners will regain access through alternative verification methods. Aylo has not provided a timeline for the rollout or clarified whether users will face additional verification steps beyond Apple's system.
The decision represents a significant shift from Aylo's previous stance, when the company chose to block UK access rather than implement age checks. Other adult platforms have adopted similar device-based verification approaches to comply with regional age assurance regulations.
