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 information to assign a risk level to supported 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 currently works only with supported apps, though Apple has not released a list of these apps yet, and it shares only the risk level with apps, not the underlying data.
- Risk levels range from Unknown (no suspicious activity) to High (significant signs of suspicious activity), helping apps tailor their scam prevention responses accordingly.
