Last year in December, the feature was made available in the US, but now it will be available in the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The Communication Safety feature for messages automatically detects and blurs nude images received on a child’s device.
Child Safety Feature Will Blur Nude Images From Kid’s Apple Device
However, the feature is off by default, so parents need to activate it at any time on their child’s Apple device. Apple has announced that the feature is coming soon in the UK to iPhones. AppleInsider reports that Community Safety in messages is also coming to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It is not known when it will come to other markets. As this feature is meant for the kid’s safety, Apple will soon bring it to all markets.
How To Activate Community Safety Feature in Messages?
To use the Communication safety in messages, you need to have the Apple devices running on the latest iOS 15.2 or later; if you have an iPad, then iPadOS 15.2, macOS Monterey 12.1 or above. Once you have done this, the Messages app will blur nude images automatically. Kids below 13 years will be asked to get in touch with their parents or guardians. More details are available on the Apple Support Page.
