Learn what to do if your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Vision Pro automatically blurs nude photos and videos and warns you of them, even though you don’t want this friction.

But before you do that, it’s important to understand what this feature (Communication Safety) does.

About Communication Safety

The Communication Safety feature in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS blurs sensitive photos and videos that contain nudity and warns the viewer. Multiple interventions and helpful resource options are also offered before viewing or sharing the sensitive media.

Overall, this is a useful safety feature designed primarily for children, though adults can also enable it to avoid seeing unwanted nude photos and videos.

All processing to determine whether a media item contains nudity happens locally on the device, and the photo or video itself isn’t sent to Apple’s servers.

Communication Safety works in Messages, AirDrop, shared photo albums, FaceTime video calls and video messages, and Contact Posters. It’s also available when selecting nude photos or videos in some third-party apps.

The feature is enabled by default when you set up an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Vision Pro for children under 18. And adults can choose to turn it on in Screen Time settings if they want.

Additionally, if you have set a Screen Time passcode for your under-13 child’s device, they won’t be able to view the sensitive media without your approval.

Turn off Communication Safety

It doesn’t make sense to turn it off for your child’s device, even if some non-nude photo or video is falsely marked as sensitive. The benefits of this feature outweigh any false flags.

However, if you, an adult, find this feature causing issues with your adult texting or media-sharing experience, here are the steps to turn it off.

1) Open the Settings app on iPhone, iPad, or Vision Pro or System Settings on Mac.

2) Tap Screen Time.

3) Select Communication Safety under the Communication heading.

4) Turn off Communication Safety. Enter the Screen Time passcode if prompted.

You can now view and share nude photos and videos without your device coming in between.

Find out how to force Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to render webpages at 120Hz instead of the default 60Hz on devices with a ProMotion display.

Unlike Chrome and Firefox, Safari renders (loads page contents, animations, etc.) at 60 frames per second, even if your device screen supports higher frame rates. But recent versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS give you the option to turn off this limit to unlock smoother scrolling.

Now, according to user reports, you may not notice an uptick in webpage scrolling (swiping up and down) with all sites after enabling this feature. But the page itself should render at a higher frame rate, improving the overall web browsing experience. Since this setting is easy to toggle on and off, I recommend trying it for a few days, then deciding.

Turn on 120Hz browsing in Safari on iOS

1) Visit testufo.com, and you’ll notice that 60 fps is the maximum.

2) Now, go to iOS Settings > Apps > Safari, and tap Advanced from the bottom.

3) Tap Feature Flags from the end of the screen.

4) Scroll down and turn off “Prefer Page Rendering Updates near 60fps.”

5) Force quit and reopen Safari or restart your iPhone (this step is important). Now, refresh or revisit testufo.com and you’ll notice a new 120 fps scrolling option.

Enable 120Hz browsing in Safari on macOS

1) Open Safari on your MacBook Pro with a 120Hz ProMotion display or a Mac connected to a Studio Display XDR or a 120Hz monitor. Make sure the computer is running a recent version of macOS.

2) Jump to the next step if you have already enabled developer options. If not, click Safari > Settings or press the Command + , (comma) keys. Then, go to the Advanced tab and check the box for “Show features for web developers.”

3) Go to the new Feature Flags tab from the top of the Safari settings window.

4) Uncheck “Prefer Page Rendering Updates near 60fps.”

5) Quit (Command + Q) and reopen Safari. You can now visit testufo.com to see 120 fps rendering.

If you don’t notice any meaningful Safari improvement or notice a lot more battery consumption, repeat the above steps and turn it off to render pages at about 60 frames per second.
