The company further hopes to enable third-party support for the feature so that many apps can flag child abuse. There's no timeframe for when these extra capabilities will arrive, but Apple added that it would continue making it easy to report exploitative material.

However, they could also set up further. The FBI and other agencies have frequently attacked Apple for making it difficult to crack suspects' iPhones through iOS' end-to-end encryption.
