Get ready, iPhone users! iOS 26 is packed with exciting features, but one update is raising eyebrows: FaceTime now has the ability to freeze your video and audio if it detects nudity during calls.

Initially introduced to protect child accounts, this groundbreaking safety feature seems to be affecting all users. As part of the new Communication Safety initiative outlined by Apple, FaceTime aims to enhance security during conversations.

According to reports from iDeviceHelp on social media platform X, the iOS 26 beta exhibits a feature where FaceTime instantly freezes your call upon detecting undressing. Users are immediately presented with a warning message, giving them options to either resume the call or end it altogether.

While the feature aims to safeguard against inappropriate content, it raises questions about privacy. Is this an intended blanket feature for all users, or merely a bug during the beta testing?

Apple's Communication Safety framework relies on on-device machine learning to analyze photos and videos for nudity. This process occurs directly on your device, ensuring that Apple does not store or see the content being analyzed.

In short, privacy is maintained as everything is processed locally on your device. Nevertheless, the implications of this feature—especially for adult users—are definitely noteworthy.

Stay tuned for more updates and discoveries surrounding this intriguing FaceTime development in iOS 26!
