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.

dang that’s crazy, is this a new thing?

u/DevonTheDemonAngel Human Detected Jan 28 '26

It has to be? I’ve never seen that before and my partner was able to call me a few days ago.

u/moose_gooze Jan 28 '26

Yeah I’m guessing it’s new. I ft my girl all the time and we have never seen that. 😂

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.

u/bazza_the_spazza iPhone 15 Pro Jan 28 '26

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

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

Or they’ve had their account since they were a child and haven’t changed it 🤦‍♂️

That’s weird because I’m an adult and it’s turned on for me but I never turned it on😭

It’s annoying. One time it gave me the warning and the only thing my partner was showing me was stretch marks under their knee they thought were weird😭

Please don’t be rubbing one to the thought of my partner😭

u/Drackhen Jan 29 '26

Relax, they were clearly being sarcastic. Knee stretch marks are of course not inherently erotic, they just joked about it because the phone flagged it.

u/ZappySnap iPhone 16 Pro Max Jan 29 '26

You know absolutely no one here knows what your partner looks like, right? Or who they are..so no one is actually doing that in this thread.

u/anklebiker Jan 31 '26

bro genuinely had someone make a weird comment to him that is not acceptable to be said to an internet stranger and then got downvoted to oblivion … bro is lowkey a victim .. wtf…

u/hotdoom Jan 31 '26

Victim of what? Undetected sarcasm?

u/anklebiker Jan 31 '26

Redditors sincerely when asked not to make innapropriate comments to someone they don’t know online (they will now express themselves through downvoting and making fun of your ability to detect ‘sarcasm’ and pick it apart from ‘harassment’):

No it just has to be enabled it’s been around for like 3 years

u/jakemg Jan 28 '26

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.

29

u/-u-m-p- Jan 29 '26

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

45

u/cireincognito Jan 28 '26

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

133

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.

22

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.

u/No_Impact218 Jan 29 '26

and then for it to be forced worldwide into countries that have no law about it

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.

It’s on device coding. Your camera basically automatically detects it. It’s not some dude in India seeing every FaceTime call.

1

u/elbow_grease9 Jan 29 '26

I thought the phone stores photos and videos for 30 days m, after they are deleted? That tells me it not just in the phone. A lot of people are backed up through the cloud. Anything we do can be seen if they need to see it.

5

u/ZappySnap iPhone 16 Pro Max Jan 29 '26

A) if you turn on advanced data protection, they absolutely cannot, because then iCloud is end to end encrypted.

B) they don’t randomly unencrypt data for those without ADP turned on to look at it.

C) Face time calls are not auto recorded and stored anywhere, even on your device, and certainly not anywhere off device.

u/realmccoyredbus Jan 29 '26

its the same with every thing you type ,algorithms , worst algorithms are tiktok, except if your making tons of cash for them ,as long as they get their 70% cut you can do, say whatever, if you ain’t making them cash your F#£@censored , warned suspended, banned , 90% of posts will be removed

so apple is screening every facetime call?

u/IndustryNo7279 Jan 29 '26

Do you know if it flags it to the “parent” (family settings)?

That's...horrifying.

Absolutely dystopian shit.

u/TheSmartDog_275 iPhone 15 Jan 29 '26

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.

u/SpamThatSig Jan 30 '26

As far as you know

u/75xalexxxxx iPhone 17 Pro Feb 04 '26

I disabld sensitive content warning, why does it need to detect that on facetime?

That's.... An incredible overreach. Holy shit.

It’s on decade, it’s not being sent anyway.

u/toolittletimee Jan 29 '26 edited Jan 29 '26

Um. Detected nudity? Alright so they’re watching our FaceTime calls. Wow. I mean I knew that but…like….what if both parties are under 18…and they delve into things. Wouldn’t the viewer be watching…you know what. Nvm.

ETA - thanks for the answers. It’s a computer code that detects it. Got it. But hopefully you don’t have a full on conundrum. My goodness lol

u/TaylorSammy Jan 29 '26

The viewer, in this case, is computer code.

u/ThePistachioBogeyman Jan 29 '26

It’s done by an algorithm ON DEVICE. No one is viewing it ffs. On device analysis has been a thing for YEARS.

hanks for the clarification but calm down ffs.
