iOS 26 can freeze your FaceTime video if it detects nudity

Yahoo03-07-2025
The developer beta for iOS 26 has been out for a few weeks, and as always,tech sleuths are uncovering features and details that weren't explained during WWDC. Among the latest discoveries stirring up conversation online is a safety and privacy feature for FaceTime that blurs your feed when it detects you in a state of undress. Should FaceTime detect nudity, it will display a message reading "Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call."
Originally discovered by X user @iDeviceHelpus, the feature is off by default and can be enabled in FaceTime settings under "Sensitive Content Warning." The feature reads, "Detect nude photos and videos before they are viewed on your device, and receive guidance to help make a safe choice. Apple does not have access to the photos or videos."It seems the feature is intended for child accounts, though it can currently be enabled in the beta for adults as well.
The Apple support page for the company's "Communication Safety" features reads, "Communication Safety uses on-device machine learning to analyze photo and video attachments and determine if a photo or video appears to contain 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."
Features in beta come and go, as testing and feedback are partly the point of the beta system, so this may or may not see broader adoption. The public beta for iOS 26 is slated for July.

Veriforce and DISA Announce Strategic Integration to Streamline Contractor Compliance and Accelerate Workforce Qualification

HOUSTON, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Veriforce, a global leader in contractor risk management and safety compliance, and DISA Global Solutions, a premier provider of workplace screening and compliance services, have announced a strategic integration that simplifies contractor compliance, accelerates worker qualification, and strengthens alignment with key industry regulations. In highly regulated industries such as oil and gas, construction, and chemical manufacturing, organizations must manage large, dynamic contractor workforces while maintaining strict compliance with safety and qualification standards. This direct integration between Veriforce and DISA bridges the gap between workforce screening and compliance monitoring, delivering a seamless, secure, and automated connection that reduces manual effort, improves data accuracy, and speeds up the path to work. As the only Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) with a direct integration into the Veriforce platform, DISA enables real-time transmission of screening results, including drug and alcohol testing, background checks, and occupational health data, directly into Veriforce. This ensures that every contractor is verified to the appropriate standard and ready to contribute from day one. "This partnership brings clarity, speed, and consistency to contractor compliance, one of the most complex challenges our clients face," said Carlos Ramon, President US & Global at Veriforce. "With DISA's direct integration into our platform, we're enabling organizations to reduce risk, streamline workforce qualification, and always remain audit-ready. Together, Veriforce and DISA are delivering a powerful, future-ready solution that not only meets today's compliance standards but helps companies stay ahead of tomorrow's workforce risks with greater confidence and control." "Our shared customers work in some of the most safety-sensitive and regulated environments," said Brady Quarles, SVP, Sales at DISA. "This integration not only speeds up onboarding but helps ensure full alignment with regulatory requirements and client expectations." Key Benefits of the Veriforce–DISA Integration: Accelerated worker qualification: Screening results flow instantly from DISA into Veriforce, reducing onboarding time and administrative burden. Improved speed-to-work: Contractors arrive on site fully cleared and ready to begin work, helping projects stay on schedule. Consistent compliance standards: Every safety-sensitive role is screened to Veriforce-approved criteria, promoting standardized qualifications across all jobsites. Secure, automated data flow: Encrypted data transmission protects sensitive worker information and simplifies audit preparation. Support for regulatory compliance: The integration helps meet requirements from DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, and Veriforce client standards, enabling confident compliance across all projects. By eliminating manual handoffs and redundant data entry, the integration reduces errors, delays, and the risk of non-compliance. It also ensures that screening and compliance systems work together, creating a single source of truth for contractor qualification data.
