Tumblr, which continues to host millions of active users today, released an important update for its iOS application in December 2021. With the update, Tumblr strangely introduced a restriction that only affected iOS users. Users were unable to perform searches that could reveal ‘sensitive content’.
The feature went beyond that while aiming to limit access to sensitive content. ‘This content has been hidden’ when users try to search for ‘bald’, ‘selfie’ and many more regular words. ‘ error was encountered. Here, Tumblr released an update today that eliminated this error, and with the update, it actually offered a feature that should have been found at the very beginning.
Sensitive content is left to user control on Tumblr
Tumblr users can now individually decide whether to hide sensitive content. With the new 22. 5. 2 version released for iOS, the ‘Hide sensitive content’ button has been added to the application. When the key is activated, sensitive content will not be shown to the user, and when it is deactivated, it will not make any restrictions.
Tumblr users who want to take advantage of this feature will be able to access the button by going to Account Settings > Filtering on their iOS devices. The application will be restarted when the button is activated or deactivated. It is not yet known whether this feature, which is only available in the iOS application, will be released for the internet browser or other platforms.
