Apple brings its feature that blurs explicit images to more countries

Apple is bringing a feature called communication security in messages to users in more countries. Launched in the US last year, the feature is also rolling out in the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

Expandable to global use

Apple introduced a feature last year that automatically detects and blurs potentially harmful incoming and outgoing photos by scanning iMessages for nudity on child-owned devices. The company is currently expanding the feature to more countries and may roll out globally soon.

Parent-enabled communication security feature will display a warning to the user that the image should not be sent after detecting a nude image on a child’s device.
