The tech giant will blur sexually explicit content, warn the child receiving it, and will provide helpful resources. It will also assure the child that it is okay to ignore the content. It will also tell the child that their parents will get a message when he/she views the photo to ensure his/her safety.

Apple will issue similar protections when a child tries to send sexually explicit photos.

The tech giant developed the new features in partnership with child safety experts. It will be available later this year as an update to accounts set up as families in iCloud for iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey.
