Some privacy campaigners were unconvinced

Apple is delaying the launch of a new feature which is designed to detect images relating to child sexual abuse.

The tech firm says it wants to spend more time making improvements, following privacy concerns.

It's hoped the new system will crack down on inappropriate material that can be reported to authorities.

Apple insists the process will be secure and not regularly scan a person's camera roll - but some privacy campaigners are unconvinced.
