Apple’s Latest iOS Update Can Freeze Your FaceTime Video If It Detects Nudity
In a recent update to the developer beta for iOS 26, Apple has introduced a new safety and privacy feature for FaceTime that is stirring up conversation online. According to tech sleuths, the feature will pause audio and video feeds if it detects nudity during a call.
The feature, which was originally discovered by X user @iDeviceHelpus, can be enabled in FaceTime settings under “Sensitive Content Warning.” When this occurs, users are presented with a message reading: “Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call.”
It is important to note that this feature is currently intended for child accounts only, although it can also be enabled in the beta version by adults as well. The Apple support page for their “Communication Safety” features explains that they use on-device machine learning to analyze photo and video attachments and determine if a photo or video appears to contain nudity.
This analysis takes place entirely on the device, ensuring that Apple does not receive an indication of the detection or access any of the photos or videos as a result. The public beta for iOS 26 is set to be released in July, leaving users wondering whether this feature will see broader adoption.
It is important to note that features introduced in beta may change or even be removed before the final release, pending further testing and feedback from users.
