Privacy and Safety Adjustments

Sonoma extends several adjustments and improvements to privacy and safety features by bringing Communication Safety to AirDrop, the Photos picker, and FaceTime. This expansion reflects a proactive approach to safeguarding children and reinforces the commitment to creating a secure digital environment.

A notable addition to privacy and safety is the introduction of the Sensitive Content Warning. This valuable feature acts as an extra layer of protection by issuing warnings before potentially sensitive images or videos are displayed through various channels, including AirDrop, Messages, calls, and FaceTime messages. By providing advanced notice, users are empowered to make informed decisions regarding the content they choose to engage with, mitigating potential risks and ensuring a safer online experience. In addition to blocking sensitive content, the feature allows blocking the sender.

Sonoma's enhanced private browsing feature also locks private browsing windows when not in use, blocks known trackers from loading, and removes tracking that identifies users from URLs.
