Apps that 'strip' victims still available on biggest stores
The Independent
|January 31, 2026
Apps that allow users to create AI-generated “nude” photos of real people are still available in Apple and Google app stores.
The creation of sexually explicit deepfakes is illegal in the UK following outrage over the use of Elon Musk’s Grok to generate sexualised images of women and children.
But The Independent found several apps that can be used to “strip” photos are still downloadable from the country’s two biggest app stores.
It comes after a Tech Transparency Project (TTP) investigation found 55 apps that can digitally remove clothes from women and show them as completely or partially naked or in minimal clothing in the US version of the Google Play Store. Similarly, it found 47 such apps available in the US Apple App Store.
A search by The Independent showed several similar apps, as well as apps named in the TTP investigation, are also available in the UK versions of the app stores.
