Apple Revises App Review Guidelines to Crack Down on AI Nudification and Hidden Features

2026年10月16日，苹果更新其《App审核指南》（App Review Guidelines），加大力度打击欺诈行为及未经他人同意的私密影像。在指南第1.2条中，苹果明确针对生成非自愿色情化内容的用户生成内容加以限制。此外，新设立的第2.5.19条禁止在应用二进制文件中包含隐藏、休眠或未作说明的功能，直接打击“偷梁换柱”式恶意应用及代码混淆行为。违反修订政策的应用可能被立即下架，相关开发者账号也可能遭到封禁。此前，维权团体持续提出质疑，多项调查亦曝光了伪装成普通软件的涉赌及AI“脱衣”工具，加之监管压力与日俱增，苹果遂作出上述调整。

On October 16, 2026, Apple updated its App Review Guidelines to introduce stricter enforcement against deceptive practices and nonconsensual intimate imagery. Under Section 1.2, Apple explicitly targeted user-generated content that produces nonconsensual sexualized media. In addition, the newly established Section 2.5.19 forbids hidden, dormant, or undocumented capabilities in app binaries, directly targeting 'bait-and-switch' apps and code obfuscation. Violations of these revised policies may lead to immediate app removal and the termination of developer accounts. The revisions follow sustained scrutiny from advocacy groups, investigations revealing disguised gambling and nudification tools, and regulatory pressures.
