With the launch of iOS 17, Apple’s latest mobile operating system, the handling of candid images has become more stringent. The updates extend safety features that began as a parental control mechanism to help protect minors to a broader audience. The company indicated that this functionality would reach all users, not just younger ones, as part of the new imaging and privacy protections embedded in iOS 17. The system will filter nudity in images and videos, and a pop-up prompt will appear asking whether the user wants to view an image that triggers the filter. This change signals a shift toward proactive content screening across the entire user base, reflecting ongoing efforts to balance privacy with safety on mobile devices.
