Apple have removed a load of search terms from Messages app after porn gifs discovered

Well, that’s a bit embarrassing…

Apple have been left red faced after the rolling out of the new iOS 10 update this week when it was discovered a new feature in the update, was providing some very NSFW items.

A new feature in iMessage allows you to search and insert gifs into your messages… you know, because gifs are actually way funnier than you will ever be.

The feature searches for gifs online and lets you pick the one which best suits your giffy needs. But, while Apple blocked results for some very basic NSFW terms on the app, they forget that the internet is a strange place, full of porn… and a lot of strange porn.

Initially, if you searched “butt” on the app, it would bring up a gif of My Little Pony in a very, very compromising position. We’re not going to show you the gif though, because it’s quite disturbing, but Apple have now blocked it from the app.

But that’s not the only search term which managed to sneak its way through the Apple net. If you searched “huge”, a gif appeared of a lady giving felatio to a man with an abnormally large beef bayonet, as captured by Deadspin.

Apple has since removed this term from the app, and the above gif has now disappeared as a result.

We’re not sure how many other instances there has been of pornography appearing on the app, but there may still be some kinks to work out so don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last glitch you see on the update.
