 Our age requirement is changing, with specific updates for UK users
 | | Hi kuxa993cisi, We're writing to inform you of an important update to our Terms of Service, effective July 24, 2025, which will apply to all users globally. What's Changing For Everyone The primary update is that Flickr will now require all new users to be 18 years of age or older to create an account. This change helps us align with evolving global online safety standards and ensures a consistent and safe environment for our entire community. For Users in the United Kingdom: Important Changes to Content Access Due to new UK regulations designed to protect minors online, we are implementing a specific change for how content is accessed within the UK. Effective July 24, 2025: - Access to content with SafeSearch turned OFF will require a Flickr Pro subscription.
- This is because a Pro subscription requires credit card verification, which serves as age assurance under UK law.
What this means for you in the UK - Free Users: SafeSearch will be automatically enabled by default. To view all content on Flickr, you will need to upgrade to a Pro account.
- Pro Users: No action is needed. Your ability to turn SafeSearch off remains unchanged.
How This Affects All Users Traveling to the UK If you travel to the United Kingdom, your Flickr experience will temporarily align with UK regulations. While you are in the UK, SafeSearch may be automatically enabled on your account. Your full account access and settings will be restored automatically once you leave the UK. What You Need to Do - For Users Outside the UK: No action is required on your part.
- For Users Inside the UK: Please be aware that after July 24, free users will have SafeSearch enabled by default. To view all content, an upgrade to Flickr Pro will be required.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these new requirements to keep our global community safe. You can review the updated Terms of Service here. For any questions, please visit our Flickr Help Center. Best regards, - The Flickr Team | |
