iPhones Running iOS 26 Are Freezing FaceTime Calls When They Detect Nudity

> Because the photos and videos are analyzed on your child's device, Apple doesn't receive an indication that nudity was detected and doesn't get access to the photos or videos as a result.

Apropos of nothing, I really don't love the construction of this reassurance. This is not actually a reasoned-through guarantee, it's just two things that happen to be true at the same time. But the latter could change at any point, on-device processing does not preclude the device notifying Apple about what it saw.

Pausing seems more accurate. Sounds like a nice feature and if you can turn it off then no downside.

I wasn't looking for your take here, iPhone.

What might be the impact on battery life?

as in, like, freezing so you get to see it longer?

Nooo! My dear wife stop showing me your boobs even though we've been apart on business trips for two weeks and we're both bursting with lust. Please apple save me!
