What is Canopy and how does it work?
Canopy is a digital filtering app that detects and blocks pornography in milliseconds, before it reaches your device's screen.
Canopy uses advanced computing technology, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to recognize and filter out pornographic content online and on your protected smartphone camera. In addition to our Smart Filter, which detects and blocks online pornography, Canopy has other features you can’t get anywhere else, such as Sexting Alerts (which help detect and prevent sexting) and Removal Prevention (which ensures Canopy Shield can’t be deleted or disabled without your permission).
For more information on Canopy’s specific capabilities, such as our Smart Filter and Sexting Alerts features, please scroll down or visit the Technology section of our website.
