Sensitive image and video warnings

The Sensitive Content Warning helps adult users avoid seeing unwanted nude images and videos when receiving them in Messages, in AirDrop, in a FaceTime video message, and in 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.

A MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone.

Set up a Sensitive Content Warning on iPhone, iPad, or Mac

  1. Do one of the following:

    • On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security , then tap Sensitive Content Warning.

    • On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Privacy & Security in the sidebar, then click Sensitive Content Warning.

  2. Turn on Sensitive Content Warning.

    If Sensitive Content Warning determines that you’ve received a photo or video that appears to contain nudity, it blurs the image, displays a warning that the content appears to be sensitive, and offers ways to get help.
