Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
A gif of black women (Beyoncé) dancing shows up when I type in “apes” in #images. Apple is one of the top tech companies in the world... thought your systems would be more thorough in differentiating pictures so stuff like that doesn’t happen. Major screw up imo, can definitely see kids who’s found this use it to generate racist discussions on iMessage. How do I report this?
UPDATE: There are instructions in this support article for reporting images→Send and save GIFs on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
And thanks for reporting it.
Also, the reason it appears, the image is from a music video "Apesh!t" by Beyonce and Jay-Z, so that’s why the search found it.

Yes that crossed my mind as well! I think it’s just an unfortunate crossing of events, but I hope apple will take it away from that tag as to not generate or foster racist conversations. Thank you for your help.

I’ve passed the word along. And confirmed your observation.
