Apple launches new child safety feature in New Zealand

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 27 April 2022

Apple is expected to introduce new safety features to their devices that will help shield children from nudity.

The feature automatically detects nudity in images sent in messages, blurs them, and displays a "sensitive content" warning.

It's been active in the US since late last year but will be activated in New Zealand and Australia soon.

NetSafe online safety operations manager Sean Lyon talks to Wallace.
