THE PROBLEM

Scammers make you do the work

They pose as your bank or a family member, then talk you into sending money yourself. Passwords cannot stop that.

THE NEW TOOL

Impersonation Risk Detection

When you start a big transfer, a supported app can ask your iPhone for a quick scam risk check.

HOW IT WORKS

Three risk levels

Your iPhone returns unknown, medium or high. The app can then warn you, add a delay or ask you to verify again.

TURN IT ON

Settings > Privacy & Security

Tap Impersonation Risk Detection and turn on Share with App Developers. It can take up to 24 hours to work.

PRIVACY

Built with privacy in mind

Risk signals are analyzed on your iPhone. Apps see only the risk level, and Apple learns just the type of action.

RED FLAG

A caller asks you to turn it off?

Hang up. Then call your bank back on the number from its official website or the back of your card.

GOOD TO KNOW

It works only in supported apps

Banks and payment apps will likely add it first. Read the full guide for setup tips and more scam settings.
