Currently it would not catch that 4chan thing as they only scan things that are uploaded to icloud photos. So you'd have to click on it and save to photos. This is the current implementation. I would guess that once they have their hooks in though all files with an image extension/header will be scanned and reported.
- corobo 5y agoSend it via WhatsApp where it gets added to photos and later iCloud by default if I recall correctly

- Karunamon 5y agoIn general, any time you save a photo on iOS, it goes into the camera roll, which is automatically backed up into iCloud.
- ninkendo 5y agoThat wasn’t the claim though, the claim was that if I text someone a photo via WhatsApp it will do all of this automatically without them choosing to save it. If WhatsApp does this by default then, ho boy is that a terrible implementation.
- corobo 5y agoTry it? I'm not Wikipedia, first party research is allowed. Go for it
- stjohnswarts 5y agoyeah I'm not sure I do know it's a separate step to move photo from whatsapp to "general" photo access. I would guess it is roped off or they wouldn't need that step.
