iOS 26 Developer Beta Pauses FaceTime Calls on Nudity Detection

Detection runs entirely on-device to safeguard privacy ahead of public beta testing that will refine the tool’s use on child accounts.

FaceTime video calls are even better now that they’re in high definition.
Should help some folks dodge some bullets.

Overview

  • The developer beta introduces a Sensitive Content Warning that pauses FaceTime’s video and audio when nudity is detected in live calls.
  • When triggered, FaceTime displays a prompt telling participants the call may be sensitive and offers options to resume or end the session.
  • Labeled “Sensitive Content Warning” in settings, the feature is switched off by default and can be toggled on or off by users.
  • All detection uses on-device machine learning, ensuring no video or imagery is transmitted to Apple’s servers.
  • The iOS 26 public beta is expected in July and Apple plans to assess feedback before potentially limiting the feature to child accounts in the final release.
