Google Will Now Blur Nude Photos in Your Messages. Here's How to Turn It On (or Off)
The feature uses on-device processing to blur nude images and warns users before sending or forwarding such content, enhancing user safety without sharing data with Google servers.
- On August 14, 2025, Google introduced Sensitive Content Warnings for Android users of Google Messages, enabling the detection and blurring of images containing nudity.
- Google announced this feature in October last year and started beta testing it in April before its wide release this year.
- The feature works by processing and classifying images locally on Android devices using SafetyCore, and it warns users before sending or receiving nude images.
- Google explains that the identification and obscuring of nude pictures are performed locally on the user's device, so no such images are transmitted to Google, maintaining user privacy.
- Adults must enable the feature manually in Google Messages settings, while it is enabled by default on teen accounts, offering users control over sensitive content handling.
