Apple’s iOS 26 software update will be released to the public this fall, and it’s been discovered that the update will include a new privacy feature. According to a new report, the FaceTime app will pause a video call if it detects nudity on-screen.
Apple’s iOS 26 update is set to include new tools that are designed to help keep children safe, including upgraded Communication Safety features.
Communication Safety expands to intervene when nudity is detected in FaceTime video calls, and to blur out nudity in Shared Albums in Photos.
However, as discovered by iDeviceHelp on X, and reported by 9to5Mac, the feature appears to be present in the latest iOS 26 beta and applies to all users, not just children.
According to testing, the iPhone will display a message warning the user that nudity has been detected. They will then have the option to end the call or resume it.

We don’t yet know if this is expected or a bug, nor do we know whether we can turn the feature off — especially for adults.
The iOS 26 software update is currently available in developer beta, with a final release expect to be made available to the public this fall. If Apple sticks to its own previous schedules, it’s likely that the update will be rolled out to the public in September.
