X says you can block Grok from editing your photos

TL;DR

  • A new checkbox on X's iOS app allows users to "block modifications by Grok" for uploaded images.
  • The toggle prevents users from tagging the Grok chatbot in replies to edit photos.
  • This feature was implemented in response to backlash after users abused Grok to edit sensitive images.
  • The toggle is difficult to find and is not available on the web or for older content.
  • The feature does not prevent all methods of image editing with Grok, such as opening the image directly in the Grok app or re-uploading a modified image.
