The short version
- Apple's App Store rules now name 'nudify' AI apps as banned.
- The apps generate intimate images of people without their consent.
- The change follows criticism after X users made deepfakes with Grok.
What happened
Apple’s updated App Store rules more explicitly ban so-called nudify apps, which use AI to generate intimate images of people without consent. The change follows criticism after X users used Grok earlier this year to make nonconsensual, sexualized deepfakes, including of minors. Apple did not pull X or Grok from the App Store, according to the item.
Why it might matter
Clearer rules may make it harder for these apps to stay listed on iPhone. Enforcement is the open question.
What we don’t know yet
The summary does not say how Apple will enforce the rules or how many apps are affected. It does not say why X and Grok stayed in the store.
