OOC Removes NSFW Content From Its iOS App, Citing App Store Rules
OOC, the interactive anime story platform that bills itself as “The Playable Anime”, has switched off NSFW content in its iOS app. In a notice dated 12 November 2026, the company said the change took effect that day and was needed “to comply with the App Store’s updated requirements.”
The restriction is broad. According to the notice, iOS users can now only create titles marked “Suitable for minors under 18”, and existing NSFW titles cannot be published from the iOS builder. NSFW titles no longer appear on Home, Search, the feed, rankings or creator profiles, and the NSFW tab, the Adult Filter and the “View NSFW content” setting have been removed from the app. Links to NSFW title pages, including shared links and notifications, now open a screen saying the title is unavailable.
The part most users will feel is chat history. OOC says existing chats with NSFW titles “can’t be used” on iOS: users cannot view previous conversations or start new ones. Drafts and saved NSFW titles also disappear from a user’s own lists.
What stays the same
OOC says creators’ earnings from NSFW titles are still settled as usual, and public title counts still include NSFW titles. The company stresses that the change “applies only to the OOC app on iOS”; it did not say anything changes elsewhere.
Why it matters
The timing lines up with Apple’s new App Store age rules for romantic and sexual companion features. As we reported, Apple told developers on 2 November that apps with a virtual companion that engages users in “sexual or romantic content” must carry an 18+ rating, with the new “Dating and Relationships” declaration appearing in App Store Connect from 16 November.
That rule sets a minimum age rating; it does not on its face ban adult roleplay. OOC did not say which specific requirement prompted its decision, and Apple’s long-standing review guidelines already bar overtly sexual or pornographic material in apps. Either way, OOC’s move shows how AI roleplay and story apps may respond: rather than keeping NSFW modes behind an 18+ label, some may strip them from the iOS build entirely and leave adult content to other platforms.
For readers, the practical advice is simple: if you rely on an NSFW mode inside an iOS companion or roleplay app, check the developer’s announcements before 16 November, and export anything you want to keep where the app allows it.
