Overview
- The feature is now rolling out broadly through stable Google Messages and Play Services updates for Android users signed into a Google Account.
- Android System SafetyCore powers on-device detection to blur images containing nudity without transmitting identifiable content or results to Google servers.
- Receiving a blurred image prompts users to access educational resources on potential harms, block the sender or choose whether to view the content.
- Attempting to send or forward a nude image triggers a swipe-to-send confirmation that reminds users of associated risks.
- Supervised children cannot disable the warnings under Family Link controls, adults must opt in via Protection & Safety settings and unsupervised teens can opt out in their Google Account.
