Apple’s new safety features block violent content, give parents final say over kids' contacts

Apple

Apple is upgrading its Communication Safety feature this fall to block gore and violent content in shared images and videos, expanding on a tool that already automatically blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime for users under 18. Under the updated system, parents will also gain tighter control over their children's circles, allowing them to require explicit parental approval before kids can connect with or message any new contacts. 

The upgrade arrives as part of a broader child safety suite previewed by Apple, aimed at helping parents manage what content their kids see, who they talk to, and when they can use specific apps.
