Apple introduced iOS 17 with the WWDC 23 event it held the other day. Making sharing easier with iOS 17, Apple, on the other hand, does not neglect to protect its users. The company aims to protect iPhone users against sensitive content.
iOS 17 will protect users against unwanted nude images
Apple has announced that the new operating system will add a Sensitive Content Alert feature that helps users avoid unwanted nude photos and videos. With the iOS 17 update, users will now be able to reject sensitive content before they see it.
This feature will work within the Messages app, as well as AirDrop, contact card, FaceTime, and the Photos app. iOS 17 will use machine learning to detect and blur the explicit material contained within these apps. This system will also work for videos.
The US technology giant will also protect child users with this feature. Underage users will be able to message adults they trust for help when faced with such posts.
Apple also underlines that this protective system cannot access the content in any way. To use this protection-only service, you need to enable the Family Sharing feature and mark certain accounts as child-owned.
Recently, many different governments have begun to characterize unwanted nude images as a crime. In this context, Apple also wants to protect its users with this initiative. While Communication Security and Sensitive Content warning systems cannot prevent images with sensitive content, they will at least keep users away from images that may be traumatic.
With the feature it will offer with iOS 17, Apple aims to protect all its users against unwanted nude images. So what do you think about iOS 17 and its new features? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
