Apple, Google host dozens of AI ‘nudify’ apps like Grok, report finds
Summary
The Apple App Store and Google Play host dozens of 'nudify' apps that use AI to generate non-consensual nude or sexualized images from photos. An industry watchdog found 47 such apps on Apple and 55 on Google Play; Apple removed 28 apps after being contacted and Google said it suspended several while investigating. The identified apps have collectively driven large scale usage and revenue, raising questions about app store enforcement, developer accountability, and user data risks—including concern over some apps based in China. Regulators and lawmakers are now pressing platforms and payment services, and the European Commission has opened an investigation into related AI tools spreading explicit content.
