FaceTime's new nudity detection feature in iOS 26

Apple's iOS 26, coming later this year, adds a new safety feature to FaceTime: if nudity is detected during a call, your video and audio will automatically pause.
You'll get a warning and can choose to either end the call or continue.
While it started as a tool for child accounts, the latest beta shows it may be rolling out for everyone.

TL;DR

Apple doesn't see your private moments

The detection happens right on your device—so Apple never sees your private moments or stores anything on its servers.
This keeps everything private, just like with Apple's similar features in Messages, AirDrop, and Photos.

Enhanced protection in live video calls

What's new here is that this protection now works during live video calls—not just with shared photos or videos.
This enhancement aims to keep video chats safer for everyone.
