The newly released iOS 26 has caused a stir in the user community with a controversial feature on FaceTime. When FaceTime detects someone on the call is undressing, it automatically freezes the video and audio immediately.
This is an extension of the Communication Safety feature that Apple introduced to protect children from sexually explicit content. However, in the beta of iOS 26, this feature is being applied to adults as well, making many people feel monitored.
FaceTime will display a warning and allow users to choose to continue or end the call if it suspects inappropriate behavior. According to Apple, the feature uses machine learning right on the device, ensuring that no call data is sent to the server. Despite its goal of protecting users, this feature is raising concerns about personal privacy on iPhones.
iOS 26 is entering the testing phase, and Apple has not confirmed whether this feature will be retained in the official version. Readers are invited to watch more videos: Iris scanning tool to verify human identity | VTV24
