If the child receives an inappropriate photo, the app automatically blurs the image. Although the child can choose to view the photo, doing so will show guidance and age-appropriate resources to help them make a safe choice.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that the feature comes disabled by default, and even when enabled, it scans the photos on the device \u2013 so all content sent via iMessage remains end-to-end encrypted.<\/p>\n<p>In order to set up Communication Safety in Messages, the child\u2019s iPhone must be part of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/family-sharing\/\">iCloud Family Sharing<\/a> and have Screen Time enabled.
