iPhones with iOS 26 are freezing FaceTime calls when they detect nudity (2025)

Pausing seems more accurate. Sounds like a nice feature and if you can turn it off then no downside.

I wasn't looking for your take here, iPhone.

as in, like, freezing so you get to see it longer?

> Because the photos and videos are analyzed on your child's device, Apple doesn't receive an indication that nudity was detected and doesn't get access to the photos or videos as a result. Apropos of nothing, I really don't love the construction of this reassurance. This is not actually a reasoned-through guarantee, it's just two things that happen to be true at the same time. But the latter could change at any point, on-device processing does not preclude the device notifying Apple about what it saw.

I truly don't understand why our society is so hung up on naked bodies.

This “Ouch” moments when Apple does not want to stand in the front of the Congress trying to prove that they are in fact preventing bad people from abusing kids on one side and try to convince us that they do in fact keep our data secure. It an interesting place to be in logistically. A very thin line to balance between two very bitter ends.

(2025) Apple adds long-awaited ability to pause irritating FaceTime calls on public transport.

Apple: "we are the paladin of privacy" Also Apple: "we know when you are naked and take decisions for you upon that" What a clown company.
