iOS 27 Adds Impersonation Risk Detection to Help Protect iPhone Users From Scams

iOS 27 introduces a security feature called “Impersonation Risk Detection,” designed to help iPhone users spot potential scams and avoid falling victim to fraud.

The feature targets impersonation risks, where a scammer poses as a trusted person or organisation to deceive someone. Its stated aim is to help users recognise danger before they are drawn into a fraudulent exchange.

The available description does not explain how the feature detects suspicious activity or what warnings users will receive. It also does not specify which types of communication it covers.

Although the announcement highlights how to activate the protection, the accompanying information provides no setup instructions. The settings path and any requirements for enabling it therefore remain unclear.
