It sounds curious, but it is true, and it is that in the New beta of iOS 26a peculiarity has been found on the facetime app, which, at least until now, did not happen. And if the iPhone detects that one of the parts of the call is being removed, it will freeze the video and audio until it is put on again.
We understand that by taking away a jacket, nothing will happen, and you will have to be more explicit if you want this to happen, but we have been able to verify what happens, and it does not let you continue with the communication, thus avoiding danger situations, especially for young people who do these with people who do not know.
New FaceTime function in iOS 26
It may seem like a joke, but no, and it is that Facetime can now detect if we undress In front of another person, or not, something that, as we said, can be good on certain occasions, however, for other people, it could be a limitation, since we understand that this app is used for all types of contacts.
If we take part of the clothes, as we explained, the app will stop, and will show us an English message, which translated into Spanish would be something like this: «The audio and the video are paused because you could be showing something delicate. If you feel uncomfortable, you must finish the call. “
We do not know if it can be configured, coming by default, but what is clear is that it is something that we could not see until now, and that we will have In iOS 26so soon we sure know more details, provided directly by Apple, on this function, which prevails the safety of minors, especially.
Of course, as we said, although it cannot be previously configured, the alert message allows us to continue the call if we wish, so in no case prevents us from doing this type of content. In addition, we understand that Apple will launch a message saying that all the data that are collected are not stored anywhere, and it is a robot who detects this, so our calls are still totally private, and we do not have to worry about it, as we can see in the Communication Safety function.
Communication Safety uses automatic learning on the device to analyze the attachments of photos and videos and determine whether a photo or video seems to contain naked. Because photos and videos are analyzed on your child's device, Apple does not receive an indication that nakedness has been detected and, as a result, it does not get access to photos or videos.
In short, it is something curious and interesting, that Increase security And it does not prevent us from making calls, contain, or not, naked, so we will see it more clearly with the official exit of iOS 26, but for now it is time to wait, since it is only available in the betas, and you will not receive this message if you have iOS 18. And you, what do you think of it? Do you think it seems correct that Apple let you know? Leave us a comment.
