During the premiere of iOS 26, Apple announced numerous changes to key apps like Safari and Messages, but barely mentioned the various quality-of-life updates. One of the updates that wasn't mentioned is FaceTime's new ability to freeze the audio and video in a call if someone starts taking their clothes off. Initially meant as part of Apple's children protection tools, that feature was discovered in the iOS 26 Developer Beta by iDeviceHelp on X. Protecting your children online Along with the iOS 26 announcement, Apple shared the many new tools and updated features meant to help parents protect their children online. Communication Safety was one of the updated features, which includes nudity detection in FaceTime video calls and Shared Albums in Photos. That feature is supposed to be only active on child accounts. However, it appears a similar feature is active for all iOS 26 Developer Beta users. Whenever FaceTime detects nudity during a video call, it freezes the audio and video of the call and shows a warning screen. There's then an option to resume the video and audio with one button or end the call. Apple interview with Greg Joz Joswiak on new artificial intelligence, screening, hold assist, carplay, liquid glass and ios updates There's no information about the circumstances under which the feature was discovered reports Phone Arena.

It also prevents scammers from being able to hear your voice and then clone it. Crooks can record you saying certain phrases, and even create AI "fakes" of your voice to use for future scams.

My phone had ‘heatwave meltdown' and STOPPED working – 3 tricks save you from being locked out of mobile like me today
BRITAIN is officially baking - and while I'm all for a much-needed tan, my phone is not quite so happy. I was fortunate enough to go to the Advertisement 1 There are ways to avoid one of these warning alerts Credit: Apple Among it all, my iPhone was working overtime, taking loads of photos and videos, keeping in touch with friends and tracking the line-up on Vodafone's Glastonbury Festival app. Then suddenly it all came grinding to a halt. A messaged popup on the screen saying my device was too hot and needed to cool down. For anyone who hasn't seen this before, a thermometer image appears and your iPhone temporarily stops working. Advertisement Red more about phones The only thing you can do is make an emergency call. Despite So for about 10 minutes I was completely phoneless - this was probably a good thing to keep me offline and focused on the real world. Fortunately, I was with friends at the time so it didn't really matter. Advertisement Most read in Phones & Gadgets But with a heatwave and Apple says iPhones and iPads are "designed for use where the ambient temperature is between 0° and 35°C". Apple interview with Greg Joz Joswiak on new artificial intelligence, screening, hold assist, carplay, liquid glass and ios updates "Low- or high-temperature conditions may cause your device to change its behaviour to regulate its temperature," their website says. "Using an iOS or iPadOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life." Advertisement Among the rules on Apple's website, it seems I broke this one: "Using certain features in hot conditions or direct sunlight for an extended period of time." Oops. So what can you do to avoid a similar fate? HOW TO AVOID A MOBILE HEATWAVE MELTDOWN Firstly, as it rightly says above, don't use your iPhone - or any other mobile for that matter - in direct sunlight where possible. Advertisement I found not keeping my phone in my pocket also helped. That way I'm not heating up my handset and it's not making me even hotter too. Keeping it in a shaded spot is the best idea - or even in your bag away from the sunlight. The other change that can help is lowering your screen brightness down. Avoid powerful tasks when outside in hot weather, such as gaming or watching 4K videos as that extra power will only warm things up further. Advertisement And finally, it's best not to charge your smartphone when it's already hot. But even more so, don't use a wireless charger as these generate even more heat. UK 5 day weather forecast Today: Sunny and hot with light winds for England and Wales with isolated heavy showers possible in the afternoon, particularly in northern and eastern England. Cooler and fresher in the northwest with a band of locally heavy rain gradually moving east. Tonight: Rain clearing Scotland, but cloud extending across northern England and Wales, bringing a little drizzle at times. Drier and clearer elsewhere. Very warm and muggy in the south and southeast. Tuesday: Hot and muggy in the southeast with the odd heavy shower possible. Bright and fresh in the northwest. Elsewhere, rather cloudy with patchy light rain or drizzle over the hills. Outlook for Wednesday to Friday: Fresher for all, with cloudier skies bringing spells of rain, these sometimes heavy on Wednesday and Friday, but some drier, brighter intervals as well. Temperatures near or slightly above average.

Drivers warned to take three items out of car TODAY – & expert reveals best spot to leave them if you can't
It's not just fire you need to worry about either CARN'T STAY COOL Drivers warned to take three items out of car TODAY – & expert reveals best spot to leave them if you can't DRIVERS need to be on red alert if they're leaving gadgets in their car today. Fire safety experts have told The Sun that there are three items you must take out of your car as the UK basks in an ongoing heatwave. 5 Leaving your phone in the car – and especially in direct sunlight – is a bad idea Credit: Getty 5 Like phones, laptops also have lithium ion batteries inside Credit: Getty 5 Heading down to the beach is great fun – but consider taking your gadgets with you and not leaving them in the car Credit: Getty Thousands of Brits flocked to beaches over the weekend, and Monday is set to be a scorcher – with temperatures rising as high as 34C or 35C in parts of Britain. But as Brits park up to enjoy the sunny weather, it's important to remember not to leave gadgets in the car. Fire experts named three gadgets in particular to be careful with. "Most devices that we use every day, phones, power banks, laptops etc have batteries containing lithium-ion," a spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service told The Sun. "If exposed to high temperatures, they can go into thermal runaway, which is where they become volatile and can explode and start a fire. "Although this usually happens if they are over-charged, being exposed to prolonged heat can also cause this." HEAT HURT It's not just a fire risk either: heat can damage your devices. That includes permanently shorting the battery life of your smartphone. If that happens, you'll have to charge your mobile more often – and there's no way to fix it other than by replacing the battery, or upgrading to a newer model. 'The interior of a car on a hot day is almost like a greenhouse, trapping heat and causing temperatures to climb high," the fire service told The Sun. Apple interview with Greg Joz Joswiak on new artificial intelligence, screening, hold assist, carplay, liquid glass and ios updates "Even if it doesn't lead to thermal runaway, prolonged heat exposure can also impact the performance of the battery and shorten its life." CAR 'LAST RESORT' The official advice is to take gadgets with you rather than leave them in a car. But if you're pulling up at the beach and want to go for a dip, it can be difficult to avoid. If there's no possible alternative, the fire service revealed one of the best places in your car to place a gadget as a last resort. 5 Placing gadgets under the seats is one of of avoiding letting them get too hot, experts say – but it's a last resort option and not as safe as bringing them with you Credit: Getty "We would always recommend taking any devices that you need with you and not leaving them in a vehicle," the fire service told us. "If you do need to, think about where you park and try and find shaded areas. "You can also think about where you leave the devices, for instance in the cooler parts of a car like under a seat." But you're better off bringing your precious gadgets with you, if that's an option. Why does heat damage batteries? Here's what you need to know... Hot temperatures can cause permanent damage to batteries That's because batteries contain fluids, and work through chemical reactions When heat is applied to a battery, the fluid inside starts to evaporate This damages the internal structure of the battery Components like the voltage indicator can be affected by heat This can allow batteries to charge at too high a rate, which can lead to a loss of electrolytes This can reduce battery life over time As batteries heat up, chemical reactions inside will also occur faster Excessive chemical reactions can reduce long-term battery life Britain is tipped to be hotter than Ibiza today, a holiday hotspot with a temperature of 29C forecast. "It is a hot picture as we move across England and Wales, particularly towards the southeast where temperatures could be around 34C or maybe even 35C," said meterologist Greg Dewhurst. He added: "The heat of the day could spark one or two heavy showers across eastern England as we move through the afternoon into the evening." It means Wimbledon is set for its hottest opening day ever on Monday.
