Key Points:
- iOS 27 introduces a new security feature called "Impersonation Risk Detection" designed to protect users from social engineering scams by detecting suspicious activity in real time.
- The feature analyzes device and Apple Account data to assign a risk level (Unknown, Medium, or High) to apps, which then decide how to respond, such as prompting for additional verification or showing warnings.
- Impersonation Risk Detection is off by default and can be enabled via Settings → Privacy & Security → Impersonation Risk Detection by toggling on "Share with App Developers."
- The feature is only available in supported apps, though Apple has not yet published a list of these apps, and user privacy is maintained by sharing only risk levels, not the underlying data.
- This tool aims to prevent scams where attackers impersonate trusted entities to trick users into sharing sensitive information or making unauthorized changes, complementing existing security measures like two-factor authentication.
