With just days to go before the reveal of the iPhone 13, Apple has made a stunning reversal. Apple will no longer roll out its new child safety features alongside iOS 15 later this month. Initially, Apple intended to include a number of new features to protect children in iOS 15 -- most notable of which is a feature that scans photos and videos in iCloud for Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This triggered a swift backlash from users and privacy advocates alike, and now Apple has decided to delay CSAM detection and other features altogether.
CSAM detection was just one part of the suite of safety tools Apple planned to release. The company also planned to implement a chat safety feature in the Messages app that would warn children when they receive or attempt to send sexually explicit material. Additionally, Apple was upgrading Siri and Search with more resources to help parents keep their children safe online.
