Summary
Apple's iOS 26 developer preview includes a new FaceTime feature that automatically pauses video calls when nudity is detected. When triggered, a pop-up message informs users that audio and video have been paused due to potentially sensitive content, offering options to either end the call or resume. The feature was originally designed as part of Apple's family safety tools for children's accounts, though it's currently appearing in the developer preview and may be a leftover testing bug.
