Sensitive Content Warnings is a feature that protects you from harassment or adult content. This feature is great and works without any third-party extension. When turned on, the feature protects iPhone users from inappropriate content, including adult content received on Messages, FaceTime, AirDrop, and any other app.
What is Sensitive Content Warning on iPhone?
If we go with Apple, the company claims that its Sensitive Content Warnings feature uses on-device machine learning to analyze & block photos and videos sent to you that might contain nudity.
It also warns you of explicit stickers & contact posters as well. When turned on, this feature will blur the photos & videos that may contain nudity.
This is an excellent addition to the iPhone since it helps us avoid sensitive content we may accidentally encounter.
Enable & Use Sensitive Content Warning on iPhone?
The Sensitive Content Warning is turned off by default on iPhones. You must manually enable it and select which apps and services you’d like to use it with.

How to Use Sensitive Content Warning on iPhone?
Now that you have enabled the Sensitive Content Warning on your iPhone, the feature will automatically blur the photos & videos that may contain nudity.
After the feature is turned on, the photos or videos that appear to contain nudity will be automatically blurred and display a ‘This may be sensitive’ message.
If you wish to view the photo/video, tap the Show button. Or else, if you need help, tap on the Alert button to find resources or block the person who sent the sensitive content.
The iPhone’s Sensitive Content Warning feature currently works with Messages, AirDrop, FaceTime Messages, and Contact Posters in the Phone app. Apple is also working to add this feature to third-party apps.
