My daughter was talking with a friend over iMessage. They were like playing a game where they search all emojis with a certain color. When she tried to send the message in this picture, the iPhone rejected, with the alert saying she was sending a nude. There’s nothing there, only emojis. What could’ve triggered the warning?

    The phone protect kids from sending nudes. (AFAIK it happens on the phone, not on a server). The phone has a series of protections for kids. She can’t message someone I don’t approve, no message or call from people not on the contact list can enter. But still, someone could grab her friend’s phone and ask for nudes. In this particular case, I entered my parent code and the message was sent. I fail to see how this is bad.

      That entire context was missing in your post: you have parental controls activated aka you opted into scanning.

      The post was presented as if your daughter just had a normal iPhone + not everybody uses an iPhone. You can’t expect people to know that the feature exists + that it’s activated on your daughters phone. I read daughter and thought she was an adult.

        What does that have anything to do with the price of weed in Colorado?

        The post isn’t even a photo, it’s just a really long string of emojis. So, how in the holy hell did it somehow detect a nude photo out of that in the first place?

          Price of weed? What?

          As for the nude, it probably detected the “💦” which I imagine is often sent with nudes or in discussions surrounding nudes. But who knows. Malus will never reveal its sauce.

            Colorado was the first state to allow recreational marijuana use.

            It’s my own twist on ‘What does that have to do with the price of eggs in Spain?’

            I have no idea where that saying came from, but it all adds up to what’s that got to do with anything?

            From the saying, “What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?” Modernized.
