Apple is seemingly developing an iOS feature that can verify when a photograph was taken using an iPhone camera. Apple Reference Image isn’t currently live, but a privacy disclosure in the iOS beta notes that the feature will be off by default. When (or if) it does roll out, 9to5Mac says it can be enabled via Settings > Camera > Reference Image > Reference Mode, and that only photographs taken using a new “Reference” option in the iPhone Camera app will include the provenance information required for authentication. This is the privacy disclosure that appears after Apple Reference Image has been enabled, according to 9to5Mac. C2PA isn’t known for its reliability, however, so perhaps Apple believes its own system will be a better, more robust solution.
