What is a Sensitive Content Warning?

Sensitive Content Warning is a feature that uses machine learning to detect and blur images and videos that may contain sensitive material, such as violence, nudity, or graphic imagery. It works on apps like FaceTime, Messages, AirDrop, and some third-party apps that support it. It also gives you a warning label before you view or share such content, so you can decide whether you want to see it or not.

Why should you use Sensitive Content Warning?

A Sensitive Content Warning is a great way to protect yourself and others from potentially harmful or offensive content that you may encounter on your device. You never know when someone might send you something inappropriate, or when you might accidentally stumble upon something that you don’t want to see.

With Sensitive Content Warning, you can have more control over what you see and share on your device, and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
