Receive warnings about sensitive images and videos on iPhone, iPad and Mac
Sensitive Content Warning helps adult users avoid seeing unwanted nude images and videos when receiving them in Messages, via AirDrop, a FaceTime video message and the Phone app when receiving a Contact Poster, all using the same privacy-preserving technology at the core of Communication Safety. The feature is optional and can be turned on by the user in Privacy & Security settings.
You (or a family member) receive a warning before receiving or sending sexually explicit photos. In Screen Time, you can also block inappropriate content and set restrictions on purchases. See Allow or block communication on a family member’s device in the iPhone User Guide.
