Apple will roll out a new tool that will warn children and parents later this year if a child sends or receives sexually explicit photos through the Messages app. To limit the spread of Child Sexual Harassment (CSAM) content on Apple platforms and services.
As part of these developments, Apple will be able to detect known CSAM images on mobile devices such as the
SLOTXO iPhone and iPad and in photos uploaded to iCloud while still respecting consumer privacy.At the same time,
the new Messages feature is meant to help parents take a more active and knowledgeable role in helping their children learn to navigate online communication. With a software update rolling out later this year, Messages will be able to use in-device
machine learning to analyze photo attachments and determine if shared photos are sexually explicit. This technology does not require Apple to access or read your children's private communications. Because all processing takes place on the device. Nothing is returned to Apple's servers in the cloud.
