Apple’s new iOS 17 will give you a warning if someone tries to send you unsolicited nudes

Surprise genitals on your phone may soon be a thing of the past.

If you've ever been shocked by an unexpected and unwanted picture of someone else's genitals then this Apple update may be music to your ears.

Apple's new iOS 17 boasts a new feature that will give people's phones the power to warn you if there is a d**k or t*t pic coming your way.

If it is unsolicited, you can just delete the message at the same time you delete that potential dating disaster from your life.

Because, seriously people, no one wants to see a close-up of your junk if we didn't ask for it.

Seriously, just ask first. It's only polite.

A press release shared by Apple revealed just how the tech giant is cracking down on digital nudes.

"These new efforts are the latest manifestation of Apple’s deeply held belief that privacy is a fundamental human right and that good privacy is built on a foundation of strong security," the June 5 press release said.

"Sensitive Content Warning helps adult users avoid seeing unwanted nude images and videos when receiving them in Messages, an AirDrop, a FaceTime video message, and the Phone app when receiving a Contact Poster, all using the same privacy-preserving technology at the core of Communication Safety."

And that will work for children and adults, so now no one has to cop a full-frontal.

Apple revealed parents and adults can choose to turn on the optional feature, which will then ask the user if they really want to open the image with a pop-up alongside some safety guidelines.

It doesn't matter how good you think it looks. The reaction is always this.

"The feature is optional and can be turned on by the user in Privacy & Security settings. As with Communication Safety, all image and video processing for Sensitive Content Warning occurs on device, meaning neither Apple nor any third party gets access to the content," the press release revealed.

So Apple will basically be rescuing your tired eyes from yet another unwelcome image of an unimpressive, gnarled Johnson.

Nice one, Apple.

Apple's senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi also said of the update: "With iOS 17, we've made the iPhone more personal and intuitive by deeply considering the features we all rely on every day."

That means less unwelcome penises, butts, boobs, wrinkled testes or whatever you may want to dodge.

And, if you spend less time on getting unsolicited nudes, then you'll have more time for fun things.

Like chocolate cake, puppies, or a hedgehog covered in glitter.
