Apple’s iOS 26 will auto-pause FaceTime calls if nudity is detected

The pop-up warning then gives users the option to resume the video call as normal or end it immediately. As it turns out, there is an option in iOS 26 test accounts, but it looks like the feature still works when the toggle is turned off. This might be a bug in the beta build, and we expect Apple to fix it when it rolls out the stable version or the next beta build of its operating system.

To turn it off, open FaceTime and head over to the app settings. Now, under “Sensitive Content Warning”, you will see a feature that says “Detect nude photos and videos before they are viewed on your device. and receive guidance to help make a safe choice.”

Unsurprisingly, many are concerned about their privacy and are wondering if Apple is keeping a tab on what happens on video calls. However, the feature description goes on to say that “Apple does not have access to the photos or videos.” On its “Communication Safety” support page, the tech giant says it is using on-device machine learning to analyse images and video attachments to see if they contain nudity. If it detects nudity, it will then make sure that you don’t access to the photos or videos.

Since the new feature is currently in beta, it is still unclear if Apple will ditch it in the coming beta builds or roll it out to everyone when the stable version comes out this September.
