There is a problem out there of unsolicited nudes; I can see this being welcome capability for a lot of people [0]. It doesn't nudge up against any privacy issues. Seems like a good idea overall.

Of course, there is also a real issue with the fact that, as closed source software on a locked down platform, we can't know what happens next. But that is just part of the deal with iPhones; there is already a lot of data like that (eg, I'd expect the US uses iPhone GPS data froom targets to hunt them down).

[0] Not sure what the feature actually does because nobody has posted details here, so there is some guesswork here.
