TL;DR
- Google Messages will now recognize nudity in videos and warn users about what they’re about to watch.
- When the feature is enabled, videos with nudity in Google Messages may be blurred by default.
- Users should also be able to delete NSFW videos before viewing them.
Google Messages is getting smarter about protecting you from unwanted explicit content. The app will now analyze videos and warn you if they contain nudity, expanding its Sensitive Content Warnings system that previously only applied to images. Sensitive content warnings for sent and received images in Google Messages first started rolling out in August, and we spotted signs back in July that Google planned to bring the feature to videos as well.
