Overview
- Tech Transparency Project identified 55 such apps on Google Play and 47 on Apple’s App Store that generate nonconsensual sexualized images.
- AppMagic data cited in the report estimates roughly 705 million downloads and about $117 million in lifetime revenue for the flagged apps.
- Apple said it removed 28 apps and later restored two after revisions, though TTP counted only 24 removals; Google said it suspended several apps and is still investigating.
- The apps appear to violate stated store policies banning tools that undress people or display overt sexual nudity, yet some were rated for teens or younger users.
- TTP reported 14 apps were based in China, raising data‑privacy concerns, as regulators broaden probes that began after xAI’s Grok produced sexualized images.
