Physical identification is currently required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The digital ID app can also be used to access a variety of products in 30,000 convenience stores, ranging from Calpol to energy drinks, and has been approved by the government to allow young people to withdraw from child trust funds once they reach the age of 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some have expressed concern that such technology could lead to the covert implementation of national digital ID cards, supporters of the scheme claim that it will provide children with an easier way to prove their age without revealing any other personal information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As cinemas implement digital ID apps, children will no longer be able to sneak
