Google’s new Android app is bringing a hidden safety feature to Messages and it could change how you view content.
Last month, Google started preparing to launch a new feature called Sensitive Content Warnings for its Messages app, aimed at helping protect minors online. Instead of adding it directly to Messages, Google has quietly introduced a separate app, SafetyCore, to power the feature.
Sensitive Content Warnings will block or blur images that might contain nudity, adding a “speed bump” screen that gives users the choice to view or skip the content. It is designed to help parents guide their children’s online activity without blocking everything, though the focus is on minors who may not fully understand the risks of sharing or viewing certain images.
