In addition to all the new product announcements from Apple's WWDC, the company released the latest safety and security upgrades as well.
In terms of user safety, Apple announced updates to Communication Safety, a feature that detects nudity in images sent to or received from children in iMessage. Communication Safety will now cover video content in addition to photos, and expands to media sent and received in AirDrop, FaceTime video message, when using the Phone app to receive a Contact Poster, and the Photos picker.
Communications Safety warnings will be turned on for child accounts in their Family Sharing plan. Parents can disable them if they wish.
