In a bid to restrict the access to online pornography by minors, Spain has introduced a new mobile app

The app will not only require users to verify their age, but also limits the number of credits for viewing adult content

The move comes after anti-pornography group raised concerns over the alarming spread of adult content among minors

The app is officially called the Digital Wallet Beta (Cartera Digital Beta), and locally known as the "pajaporte"

The application will allow platforms to check whether the user is above the age of 18 years or not

To verify their age, the viewers will be asked to use the mobile app

The app will work as a mobile phone wallet and will verify users' age through one of the five government-issued IDs

Once verified, the users will then receive 30 "porn credits" with one-month validity

These credits will grant them access to adult content. Further, users will be able to put a request for extra credits

According to reports, the application will be available by the end of the summer
