introduced default safety features that automatically flagged images and videos with nudity across iMessage, AirDrop, FaceTime, and Photos. Now, as part of the, the updated feature will not only blur out any nude photos and videos in messaging chats but also give kids the power to flag those messages straight to Apple .

With the current settings, if nudity is detected, kids see a couple of intervention popups explaining how to reach out to authorities and advising them to tell a parent or guardian. After the update, when the system identifies nudity, a new popup will pop up, allowing users to report the images and videos directly to Apple. From there, Apple could pass that info on to the authorities.

The device will generate a report that includes the images or videos in question, along with the messages sent right before and after the nudity was detected. It'll also gather contact information from both accounts, and users will have the option to fill out a form detailing what went down. Apple had previously raised concerns that the draft code wouldn't safeguard end-to-end encryption, putting everyone's messages at risk of mass surveillance. In the end, the Australian eSafety commissioner softened the law, allowing companies to propose alternative solutions for addressing child abuse and terror content without sacrificing encryption.
