Change Communication Safety settings in Screen Time on Mac
Use Communication Safety settings in Screen Time to have your Mac (or your family member’s Mac) detect sensitive photos and videos before they’re sent or received in Messages or the Photos picker. If nudity is detected, the photo or video is blurred and resources are provided to help handle the situation. For more information, see the Apple Support article About Communication Safety on your child’s Apple device.
To change these settings on your Mac, choose Apple menu 
in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Click the Family Member pop-up menu and choose a family member (if you’re a parent/guardian in a Family Sharing group), then click Communication Safety.
