Dozens of nudify apps found on Google and Apple's app stores

"A report from the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) released on Tuesday found dozens of AI "nudify" apps similar to Grok on Google and Apple's platforms, as previously reported by CNBC. TTP identified 55 apps on the Google Play Store and 48 on Apple's App Store that can "digitally remove the clothes from women and render them completely or partially naked or clad in a bikini or other minimal clothing." These apps were downloaded over 705 million times worldwide, generating $117 million in revenue."

"TTP's report comes in response to calls for Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from their app stores after Grok generated millions of nonconsensual sexualized images, mainly of women and children. Grok and X are now facing investigations in the EU and in the UK, as well as a lawsuit from at least one victim. Apple and Google have addressed the apps in TTP's report, but X and Grok remain freely available on both companies' app stores."

Fifty-five apps on the Google Play Store and 48 on Apple's App Store can digitally remove clothes from women and render them completely or partially naked or clad in minimal clothing. Those apps were downloaded over 705 million times worldwide and generated $117 million in revenue. Google has suspended several of the apps and Apple removed 28 (two were later restored). Some AI nudify apps previously slipped through platform policies. Calls have sought removal of X and Grok after millions of nonconsensual sexualized images, mainly of women and children, led to EU and UK investigations and lawsuits. X and Grok remain available.
