Google is rolling out major updates to its Messages app, focused on user safety and content moderation. A standout feature is the “Sensitive Content Warnings,” which automatically blurs images containing nudity, protecting users from viewing inappropriate content accidentally. This feature also includes a “speed bump” notification that alerts users before they send or forward any explicit images, helping to prevent accidental or risky sharing.
Additionally, Google is improving spam detection through on-device machine learning. Messages from unknown international senders will be automatically blocked or moved to spam folders, and users will see clearer indicators for verifying messages from legitimate businesses. These updates aim to create a more secure messaging environment for Android 9+ users as part of Google’s ongoing efforts to curb digital scams and unwanted content
