Apple is rolling out a new safety feature in iOS 26 that will pause FaceTime video and audio if it detects someone undressing on camera. A warning will appear, giving users the choice to continue or end the call.
This update was shared by Twitter user iDeviceHelp, showing how the prompt looks during a call. Apple has emphasized that this feature is primarily aimed at protecting children, using machine learning that analyzes content locally on the device without sending data to Apple.
While the goal is child safety, some users have raised concerns about how this might affect adult users, especially those having consensual phone sex. Some feel the feature could be intrusive or limit privacy.
The feature is off by default, and users can disable or enable it in the FaceTime settings under Sensitive Content Warning. Opinions on the feature vary, with some praising the protective intent and others questioning the need for such monitoring.
