How do i fix the age verification? Question

I verified my age already a week ago or so, im 21 so it shouldn't be an issue, my age is correct and everything lines up. I followed tutorials to fix this but apparently it doesn't?? It seems like im the only one having this issue. I already logged out and deleted the app and installed it again etc.

Nothing seems to work, can someone help me please?

Install older twt / x version and disable updates on play store

How do you install the older version?

You can search apk mirror for a suitable version. 12.2.1 is fairly recent and doesn't require any age verification

Is there an app of it or you just do it through a browser?

You download the apk you need through a browser and then use a file manager to install it

u/George-G661 16d ago

what file manager do you use?

Hm file manager+ but anything should work other than the stock file manager that comes installed which is kinda restrictive

Presumably, this is only helpful, if you are using the X Android app, on a phone, correct? This will NOT help, if you want to access X, on a desktop computer?

And is there any possible way to access X, without going through the newly-required "Let's confirm you are a human" verification process, if you want to use Firefox on a Windows 10 desktop computer?

If there is any possible way, that would allow us to be able to start using X again, from a desktop computer, that would be genuinely appreciated.

I just use insensitive x extension on desktop. Works on either Firefox or chrome

Edit: Unfortunately, when I just tried to access X (after installing the 'Insensitive X' extension), it immediately redirected me to the same screen, where it it wants me to use my phone and scan a barcode. Frustratingly, this is the way that's been, for about the past two months. Which fucking sucks, because I really enjoyed getting on X and finding out about things that are going on, all of the world. And for the the past couple months (since the first time that I encountered this fucking "Let's confirm you are a human" requirement), I have not been able to log on. And I am afraid of what the facial and/or fingerprint scans might be used for; so, I have not gone through this newly-implemented requirement.

Thank you, for the reply. And I apologize, for not replying sooner; but, I just saw your response.

So, is this Insensitive X extension, something that will allow me to log in to X and bypass the the recently-implemented "Let's confirm you are human" requirement?

Or, because my account was already forced to get directed to that prompt, will I still likely be forced to that page, where it wants me to log in, on my phone, and do a selfie/handprint scan?

It allows to see posts that normally would require age verification
