Whether you’re a concerned parent or simply value a more mindful browsing experience, use this guide to enable Sensitive Content Warning on iPhone in iOS 17.
A Quick Glance On Sensitive Content Warning on iOS 17 and iPadOS 17
The operating system warning is aimed at protecting users from offensive, violent, or distressing content and this communication safety feature uses on-device machine learning to detect images and videos that may contain sensitive material. It identifies violence, sexual content, or graphic imagery and hides them behind a blurred thumbnail with a warning label.
Applications supporting Sensitive Content Warning
Several applications in iOS have embedded the Sensitive Content Warning feature. Mentioned below are a few of them:
- AirDrop
- Messages
- Phone app (Contact Posters)
- FaceTime
Turning On Sensitive Content Warning on iOS 17 and iPad 17

- The readability of the same can also be improved by toggling Improve Sensitive Content

However, there is no way that the Sensitive Content Level can be customized as per the needs of the user. Sensitive content may not block each and every content that are sensitive or distressing, but will surely display a warning for the same. Its effectiveness depends on the accuracy of the content classification system. Also, there is no alternative way to bypass the contents once the feature is turned on. With the method prescribed above, you will rest assured that your device’s content is neat and friendly
