With iOS 17, Apple wants to further protect users from unwanted photos and videos.
This new OS from the Apple brand could put an end to unwanted dick pics and other nudes.
The hunt for nudes continues at Apple
At the beginning of February, during Safer Internet Day, Apple reviewed its various tools and resources allowing families in particular to optimize the safety of their children online. In addition to family sharing and parental control (which notably allows you to limit screen time), Apple offers a tool called Communication Safety. This one helps to preserve as much of the younger ones as possible from unwanted photos through Messages.
In this way, by activating the communications security of the Messages app, the system is responsible for detecting if a child receives or tries to send this type of photo. If so, the app blurs the photo before it appears on the device, and provides age-appropriate tips and resources to help the child make a safe choice, including that of contacting a trusted person if he wishes.
Towards better communication security with iOS 17
With its new iOS 17, Apple promises to take greater care of the safety of the youngest, especially when they send and receive content by AirDrop, Contacts posters or by a FaceTime message, but also when they use the Photos picker. to choose content to send. In addition, in addition to still images, video content will now also be taken into account.
But to also protect adults from unwanted media, Apple will offer a new Sensitive Content Warning feature. Potentially sensitive content will also be filtered in order to avoid, as much as possible, opening inappropriate content. ” The processing of images and videos carried out by Sensitive Content Warning is carried out directly on the device, so that Apple never has access to these contents. “says the firm.
With iOS 17, Apple therefore intends to prevent adults and children from being exposed to images, but also to videos containing unsolicited nudity.
