Once Sensitive Content Warnings are activated, any content on your device that is flagged as potentially containing nudity will be blurred out, accompanied by a notification stating, “This may be sensitive.”

These warnings apply to content sent through various channels, including Messages, AirDrop, Contact Posters in the Phone app, and FaceTime video messages. Furthermore, users can customize which apps and services the warnings are applied to by accessing the “App & Service Access” within the Sensitive Content Warning menu.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you receive sensitive content and are unsure of how to handle it, simply tap the exclamation point inside a triangle located in the top-right corner of the blurred content. This will open a wealth of safety resources, providing valuable tips on dealing with harassment and guidance on what to consider before opening a blurred image or sharing explicit content. Additionally, these resources cater to both adults and children, offering a comprehensive support system.

If you decide that you want to view content marked as potentially sensitive, you can do so by tapping the “Show” button in the bottom-right corner of the blurred image. Your safety and comfort are a top priority with iOS 17’s Sensitive Content Warnings, ensuring a secure digital experience.
