FaceTime in iOS 26 Pauses Video Calls if It Detects Nudity: Here's All You Need to Know
- Apple's iOS 26 beta, revealed at WWDC 2025, introduces a FaceTime functionality that freezes both audio and video if it identifies nudity during a call.
- This feature stems from Apple's expansion of family safety tools aimed at child accounts, though it now appears active on all beta users' accounts.
- FaceTime immediately halts both video and audio when nudity is detected and displays a notification advising that the call is paused due to potentially sensitive content.
- Apple claims on-device machine learning analyzes photos and video attachments for nudity without Apple accessing the content or receiving detection data.
- The feature's presence may indicate Apple's intent to enhance safety, but users have raised privacy concerns and clarity on its final release status remains pending.
