And Safari can access more NSFW content than even Reddit has available. Um…there’s this browser thingie called Safari that Apple created and ships with every single iOS device ever created. Somebody higher up the food chain should have stopped it before it even got started, but the higher-ups at Apple were apparently asleep at the wheel yet again.ĭid anybody at Apple pause to consider the feelings of Reddit users who now have had their ability to conveniently control NSFW content removed from their favorite apps?Īnd are the folks running the iOS App Store so disconnected from reality that they think that Reddit apps are the only way people are accessing NSFW content? Apple's Safari browser: The ultimate NSFW porn portal? This means that convenient NSFW toggle controls are removed but the exact same NSFW content is still available via these apps.įrankly, it makes me wonder what is going on inside of Apple that allowed something like this to happen. Then suddenly the company goes on a NSFW jihad against these apps?Īnd to make matters worse, all the company has accomplished here is to force developers to simply allow whatever the default NSFW setting is on a user's Reddit account. As one commenter noted, some of these apps have been in the iOS App Store for years without Apple saying a word. When I found out that Apple had done this, I almost couldn’t believe it. More at Reddit Really, Apple? Are you serious? Maybe things will get better when you move under one, giant spaceship roof.” What may be worse, is that this decision will likely be reversed in the coming days, which shines yet another light on the crazy disconnect between the App Store team and other parts of the business. Please, Apple, protect my eyes from this filth! (/sarcasm) I may get a NSFW email someday… heaven forbid.
Now, suddenly, someone has decided to ban these apps because they access the internet, and the internet (gasp) contains NSFW content?īetter pull Safari next. Ponchoboy: “Not only do these apps just access data freely available on the internet, they have been on the store for YEARS. It was nice to toggle it to block content when I wanted to. While just pretending it doesn’t exist for the app.Įdit: Just saw the new Narwhal update. Glad I have narwhal installed already.”īendersShiny: “And could removing the toggle allow it to be determined by the default setting you have selected on the website. Imgur has an app, not to mention the countless hookup apps. I mean the camera itself can lead in that direction. Satisfried: “There’s gotta be thousands of apps with potential nsfw content.
You can get porn through email as well, might want to remove all of those.” As well as all third party web browsers and terminal emulators. By this logic they should remove safari as well. If Apple has a problem with that kind of content they should be praising reddit apps for having the ability to turn NSFW content off, unlike a web browser which generally doesn’t have that ability.”Īlexnoyle: “The purpose of reddit is not porn this is silly. Web browsers and other apps can easily display pornographic content and they are allowed. UnoriginalTitle: “Ban iOS, people actually use this OS to access NSFW content! The horror!”īiznatch11: “I don’t understand this at all.

I’ll share my own thoughts below, but here’s a selection of comments from redditors in the Apple subreddit:ĭeceptiveideas: “Emergency iOS 9.3.2 patch released to pull Safari after claims of being able to access NSFW content.”ĬhipsAndDiplo: “And twitter, tumblr, google, bing, firefox, the list goes on…” Once news of Apple’s decision to yank third party apps hit Reddit, folks in the Apple subreddit reacted with disgust and jeers.
