Google Messages can now blur unwanted nudes, remind people not to send them
Briefly

Google has initiated the rollout of a new safety feature in Google Messages designed to automatically blur unwanted nude images, a function that enhances user privacy by processing data directly on the device. Users with unrestricted adult accounts will have this feature disabled by default, whereas it is enabled for teenagers on unsupervised accounts and cannot be disabled on supervised ones. Although some Android users expressed concern over the installation of a component called SafetyCore, it does not consume significant resources unless activated by the user.
Google's latest addition to Messages, the image-blurring feature to protect users from unwanted nudes, now rolls out, maintaining privacy by processing data on-device.
Sensitive Content Warnings are enabled by default on teenagers' phones, while the option is off for unrestricted adult users, showcasing a nuanced approach to user protection.
