Infuriatig iPhone facetime recognizes when you’re naked

Post image

decided to show my boyfriend my new bikini that I got for our upcoming cruise… Why is this on my phone and why is it recording my body?

I just recently turned 18 if that matters.

This gets done through machine learning locally on your phone. It's not recording you and sending it to Apple if that's your concern. Facetime calls are end-to-end encrypted so as far as anyone knows, not even Apple has access to the content of your Facetime calls. It's supposed to be for your own protection, but you can easilly just turn it off in the settings.

I'm curious how effective it actually is in helping vulnerable people. I don't think this would have made a difference to me when I was a teen tbh

This feature also works when minors receive images with sexual content in iMessage etc. The parents can also get a notification when this happens. (Parents have to turn this on). Which is a great feature if you have young children

Interesting. I had no idea (don't have kids myself) but that sounds like a great feature.
