Google Messages Rolls Out Nudity Blurring

Google is rolling out a feature that can automatically detect and blur images containing nudity. The feature is enabled by default for minors and disabled by default for adults. When using Android's parental control features, only a parent can disable the feature on a child's phone. Google calls the feature Sensitive Content Warnings and first announced it last October. It works completely on-device, so nudes are never sent to Google servers. It doesn't completely block nudes from being viewed or shared, but does add extra steps to view or share nudes, including "help-finding resources and options". Apple announced a similar feature for iOS in 2023.
