FaceTime in iOS 26 will pause video calls if sensitive content detected
It will pause the video for all participants and display a warning message: "Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call."
Apple's upcoming iOS 26 update will introduce a new safety feature on FaceTime that automatically pauses video calls if it detects someone undressing or exposing sensitive content during the call, reports Mashable.
The feature, recently highlighted by tech content creator iDeviceHelp, is designed to prevent potentially inappropriate or uncomfortable scenarios during video calls.
When the system detects nudity or signs of undressing, it will pause the video for all participants and display a warning message: "Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call."

Users will then be given two options — Resume Audio and Video or End Call.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple previously mentioned plans to expand its Communication Safety tools as part of broader family-focused protections.
In a June announcement, Apple stated, "Communication Safety expands to intervene when nudity is detected in FaceTime video calls, and to blur out nudity in Shared Albums in Photos."
iOS 26 is expected to roll out later this year.
