Apple can see all your pictures of bras (but it’s not as bad it sounds)

The company's Photos app includes AI that can recognise thousands of search terms. Should we worry that one of those is 'brassiere'?

Don't freak out, but your iPhone knows all about your underwear selfies. On Monday, a viral tweet led to thousands of users discovering that the Photos app, on Apple's iOS and macOS operating systems, knows what a bra looks like - and lets you search for it.

Apple being Apple, it's vaguely classy, of course: the app will only give responses for "brassiere". But type that into the search bar and there, in all their glory, are likely to be a fair few pics of people - maybe you - in various states of undress.
