Apple tightens App Store rules to ban nudify apps that hide during review

Apple updated its developer guidelines to ban apps that use AI to create offensive content and those that disguise themselves as regular apps to pass App Store review. The company will remove apps that add undocumented features after approval and requires moderation of user-generated content.

• Ban on hidden features revealed only after App Store approval
• Apps must filter content, offer reporting and block abusive accounts
• Apple blocked over 150,000 apps and removed 193,000 accounts last year
• In July San Francisco ordered Apple and Google to delete nudify apps
