Facebook is testing a system that allows users to message themselves their nude photos in an effort to combat so‑called revenge porn.
It will store a "fingerprint" of images to prevent any copies of them being shared by disgruntled ex‑lovers.
The trial is in Australia, where studies suggest one in five women aged 18‑45 may have had image‑based abuse.
But one expert says there will still be problems outside Facebook and related sites such as WhatsApp and Instagram.
Facebook said it looked forward "to getting feedback and learning" from the trial.
Revenge porn is a growing issue in Australia, according to e‑safety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, who is working with Facebook on the trial.
