Feature description
Support in the image editor for censoring images using a blur/pixelation.
It would work like the drawing tool (ie. use your finger to 'draw') but instead of overlaying a colour, it would blur/pixelate the image.
Optionally: have an "auto-censor" mode. automatically detect "significant" components and allows tapping on them to censor the entire component (tapping a second time un-censors it).
eg. detect areas in the image with text in them. tapping on an area with text will pixelate/blur the entire area. also detect things like profile pictures, faces, dates, addresses (sensitive things like addresses are automatically censored when entering "auto-censor" mode, however tapping on them will un-censor it.), etc.
see additional details for an example.
Why do you want this feature?
Support for pixelation/blurring parts of an image is something quite nice that is currently not supported.
The default screenshot editor for my phone supports this already and I find myself using it somewhat often.

Example of the "auto-censor" mode, as done by my built-in screenshot editor app:
