FaceTime in iOS 26 will stop video calls if someone is undressing

"Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive."

For many people living in the post-physical-office era, it's the ultimate nightmare: Being in a video call only to realize there's something utterly inappropriate going on in your background. Or foreground.

A new FaceTime feature in iOS 26, highlighted by iDeviceHelp, puts an end to at least some of the possibly unpleasant scenarios, as it pauses the video if someone is undressing during a FaceTime call.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The video for other participants will be paused, and you'll see a message saying "Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call." Two possible options are presented: Resume Audio and Video, or End Call.

As 9to5Mac noted, Apple actually announced something similar last month, as part of new family tools that are coming for child accounts.

"Communication Safety expands to intervene when nudity is detected in FaceTime video calls, and to blur out nudity in Shared Albums in Photos," said Apple in an announcement at the time.

It appears, however, that this has been expanded to all users. The feature is currently live in the iOS 26 developer beta; we'll see if it sticks once the iOS 26 public beta launches, which should happen sometime in July.
