New iMessage Protections
Remember Apple’s poor handling of its announcement of a child sexual abuse material prevention feature for iMessage? Maybe not, but either way, the feature that was announced is sort of coming out in iOS 15.2—but with some big differences.
While the company won’t be scanning users’ iPhones for CSAM material, iOS 15.2 will have a new communication safety feature that will help protect minor children from sending and receiving sexually explicit images via the Messages app. Parents can enable the setting for child accounts that have been pre-established in Family Sharing.
