So apparently the mobile viewer lost access to adult sims due to AppStore policies... guess it won't attract many users that way.

I'll still use it. Should still work great for weekend sale shopping binges!

How many of those shops are on adult lands?
Being serious for a moment...

I come across the occasional store during my weekend sales jaunts residing in an adult sim, but it's not regular occurrence.

I mean, could you still chat with it? Mobile is way more useful for chat in group or directly than using things in world.

Chat? Most likely.

Apple's App Store policies are causing LL to lock out access to adult sims when using the mobile viewer. I think that's it - for now...

This issue was posted on the SL reddit sub, and one obnoxious person was insisting that millions of children would come streaming into SL when mobile was enabled. That wave of new customers would purge SL of skeevy, pervie adult-content users, so goodbye to all that.

Okay... If you say so....

mobile isn't really suitable for doing much physical stuff anyway. I'd just use it to chat with people, so it won't matter what sim I'm on.

I play a lot of this mobile game, Sky: Children of the Light. It's a "chill game" with no conflict. You just wander the world collecting wax to spend on cosmetics mostly.

You can't even socialize without first lighting candles and sitting at benches etc.

All of the avatars are faceless "Sky Kids" who wear fancy capes and are very basic.

Even that game has Pervy people.

Somehow, I think SL will be ok.

What's more important is whether Google will allow the app on the Play Store. Android is the OS on over 70% of mobile phones. Only America uses more iPhones than Android.
