    Apple to Pause FaceTime Calls if Nudity Is Detected in New Update

    Apple’s upcoming iOS 26 will introduce a controversial feature that automatically pauses FaceTime calls if nudity is detected — even if it’s simply someone starting to undress.

    The system, part of Apple’s expanded “Communication Safety” tools, was first noticed by X user @iDeviceHelpus and reported by 9to5Mac. When triggered, a message appears saying:

    “Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call.”

    Users then have the option to either resume the call or hang up.

    The feature was initially thought to only apply to child accounts, helping protect minors online. However, reports indicate it also activates during adult-to-adult FaceTime calls — though it’s unclear if this is deliberate or a glitch.

    Reactions online have ranged from jokes to outrage. One Reddit user wrote, “Long distance couples in shambles,” while another quipped, “Well that’s one way to end a work meeting early.”

    Apple says detection happens entirely on-device using machine learning, meaning the company does not see or store any video content. “Because the photos and videos are analyzed on your child’s device, Apple doesn’t receive an indication that nudity was detected,” the company explained.

    iOS 26 is currently in beta and will be officially released this autumn, likely September, for iPhone 11 and later models.
