Google Messages Adds On-Device Nudity Blurring for Videos

The rollout arrives via the October Play Services 25.39 update with a setting users must enable.

Samsung phones will now warn users before opening videos containing nudity in the Google Messages app.

Overview

  • The Sensitive Content Warnings feature now covers videos, expanding beyond explicit photos.
  • Detection runs locally via Android System SafetyCore, so media is not uploaded for analysis.
  • The capability is delivered through Google Play Services v25.39 released in October 2025, which is required for availability.
  • Users must enable Sensitive Content Warnings in Messages settings before flagged clips are blurred.
  • Flagged videos appear blurred with an option to delete without viewing, GIFs are not supported, and senders may be asked to confirm when nudity is detected.
