I like that it's system-wide (at least for Apple features)... but if an explicit image comes over iMessage it's probably unsolicited, or you are doing it wrong. Probably shouldn't use any system that also automatically uploads to the cloud for archive.
 
I wonder if they’re gearing towards some sort of privacy & protection or censorship announcement again outside of the iOS 17 reveal. While not exactly related, it seems the new sticker creation in iMessage doesn’t allow you to create nude stickers.

When fiddling around with it today with my SO, my pre-existing images saved don’t even show as an option when sesrching through Pictures. Some pictures downloaded from web and AirDropped from her seem to slip through into the Album search but even so they still weren’t selectable.

Seems however it functions the line is drawn at any private part showing whether male or female. Although, it can be tricked by editting the images and censoring/covering those parts to some capacity. Ran some tests with my device, she w: hers, and had a friend do so with whatever he personally keeps since we found it kind of funny at first.

Not the most interesting of stories here but the thought that they’re putting some focus into consentual content/media delivery may be of interest to some out there in the world.

Oh well I guess it’s time to beta test the @@@@ out of this feature! LOL
I tried it... I'm sad to report that it was still fully visible. No warning. Appalling.

Well, at the very least they are opt-in. So all good. Things would take a U turn if this is opt-out or doesn’t even have a setting at all. Adults still is the majority population after all.
