Your phone already "sees" everything on your display. By "spying" are you suggesting that iOS's ability to recognize a face or a plant or a dog or boobs to be a violation of your privacy?
This is technology running "on your device".
No Apple employee is looking at your content. Stop with the misinformation. You're doing nobody a service.
Gotta make sure you never see the tools that were used to create you.
Being happy or not wouldn’t matter a lot for them if their iPhones are a X or older..
1. Will it filter from WhatsApp?. The article says “3rd party apps”. That would mean not truly encrypted end to end, no?.
2. How to opt for “please send more”?

It’s entirely likely you might not want to opt in. Parents with young children, on the other hand, may be quite interested in switching it on for their kids accounts.
Not every feature has to be applicable for every user. For instance, I don’t need the voiceover features designed for user with vision loss, but I’m glad the features are there.
Some people don't want to think and want others to think for them.
The key word is unsolicited. The point of this is to stop people from receiving unwanted nude photos, and yes, from what I know, it's not uncommon for women to receive random ones online.
I know there are a lot of jokes to make in this thread, but it's not too difficult to imagine how this could be a useful feature.
Sending nudes, over a medium in which screenshots are easily taken without your knowledge, is always risky--even to a longterm partner. There are much safer ways to go about something that has, in many ways, become the norm for most adults (sexting).

Hell, I have a cousin that thinks it’s hilarious to send me pictures of his balls. This would have been a great feature for all those times.
Yeah, do it the way they used to - give ‘em a Polaroid!
Ok, this is bothering me. The images aren't sensitive. The content of the message isn't sensitive. And frankly it's insensitive to send something like that without solicitation.
It should say "You may be sensitive to this."
Or maybe, "This is a picture of the sender's sensitive bits."

I am open to try this out. send those DUCK pics
My niece got nude pictures from boys at school when she was 14 that she didnt request and definitely didnt want. Is it ok if God saves her from those pictures? Or in this case Apple? There are some important real use cases for these.
Personally I’m not sure yet what to think of this option to block unsolicited nude photos automatically. Not that people should send/receive nude photos unsolicitedly. Don’t think that at all. But nude photos are just one of many sensory perceptions that we don’t want to be confronted with unsolicitedly. And what we manage to block online can still be perceived unsolicitedly offline. How many different sensory perceptions are we going to try to block? Are there perhaps also reasons to be carefully reluctant with preventing perceptions in our lives?
I support this to prevent it otherwise I sue!

I dare someone will instantly sue.
Did someone send you an unsolicited nude? In California, you could soon sue them for it
Sick of getting unsolicited nudes? Soon in California, you could be able to sue the sender.

Yes. The light-beta version of the spyware they wanted to introduce. The final will come with iOS20.
CSAM checking was on-device too…
Even better, make it into a sticker with the new iOS and screw with your friends.
