What Canopy Shield is for
Canopy Shield is a companion to the main Canopy app. It is installed on each phone or Chromebook a parent wants filtered, and the listing says to start the main app's free trial before installing it. The developer says more than 100,000 families use the filter.
It is aimed at parents who want pornography kept off a child's device during everyday web browsing and app use.
How the AI filter handles pages, images and video
The AI looks at the images, videos and websites a child encounters, both in the browser and in other apps. When it finds pornography, it intercepts and removes that content before it appears on screen. The listing says the check runs in the background while the child uses the device.
