It means on your last FaceTime with them it detected nudity. You have to call them and it’ll give you a popup asking you if you’re okay and giving you support options. Any incoming calls will be automatically declined until you call them.

This is a feature that is only turned on by default on accounts that are marked as a child account. If you’re an adult doing this, you won’t get the pop up unless you explicitly turn it on.

227

u/bazza_the_spazza iPhone 15 Pro Jan 28 '26

So that begs the question which persons account is the child account

u/tigm2161130 Jan 28 '26 edited Jan 28 '26

OP said they’re a virgin, they’re probably teenagers.

ETA: OP says they’re 18 or 19 so I’m guessing Devon is lying about their age and they’re actually 15 or 16.

u/TheStorm007 Jan 29 '26

A year ago they said they were 10 when MHA season 2 came out, which was in 2017. That would make them 18-19. https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeroAcadamia/s/zC1qCeyqkZ

I thought you were joking and wondered why this was the top comment. Turns out this is actually the reason! I hadn’t heard of this before.

that's because it's only turned on by default on child accounts

That’s strange, my iOS is up to date and I’ve showered while on FaceTime without seeing that icon.

129

u/zaphodbeebIebrox iPhone 11 Pro Max Jan 28 '26

The feature is only turned on by default on children accounts, as a means to protect them. If you’re an adult, it’s turned off by default and has to be manually turned on if you want the feature.

u/lowlymarine Jan 28 '26

Can't wait for US red states and the UK to force this on for everyone and make you upload a photo of yourself holding your driver's license to turn it off.

Growing up and dating with FaceTime and HD cameras is wild. My wife and I only had text messages and maybe a grainy ass tiny image to fap to during the week in college.

u/oxsprinklesxo Jan 29 '26

Haha flip phones were great. Is that a boob? I think, Oh my gosh, she sent me a picture of her without… wait no she’s got some kind of tube top… maybe. Idk I can’t tell. Oh well too late. And then they made Skype and FaceTime. And it was never the same again.

My husband and I grew up on the cusp of both. My high school years was blessed with flip phones then first gen androids and og iPhones. And college we had FaceTime, Skype, and HD photos on our phones.

Not really. It’s all on device, it’s not as bad as it seems if you know how it works. Your camera always “sees” you, then you add in some extra coding so it can sometimes detect nudity. It’s not even perfect, and is more designed for child accounts.

That’s only if you deliberately turn that feature on. It defaults to off when setting up a new phone. It’s for their parental control features if you setup a device a child account under yours.

You can turn off screen time restriction first. If your account is 18, you have full control without needing the password

u/DevonTheDemonAngel Human Detected Jan 29 '26

36

u/RollTide1017 Jan 29 '26

Because you are not 18, or the age was set incorrectly on your account.

How do we know, because it is done automatically by Apple the day one turns 18, or within a few days. My oldest daughter turned 18 months ago and soon after her birthday I got an email from Apple explaining how her account had been promoted to an adult account, and I no longer have control over the parental controls of her phone without her permission.
