Install it once and it watches over their phone — silently filtering scam texts, blocking fraud calls, and letting family step in when something looks serious.
iOS 16+ required. TestFlight beta — free during testing.
Each layer works automatically in the background — no action needed.
Scam texts are quietly moved to a separate folder. You never miss a real message, and you never have to read a scam one.
Known scam numbers are silenced before your phone rings. IRS imposters, Social Security fraudsters, and more.
Tap Share on any suspicious message or email and get an instant verdict — Likely Scam, Be Careful, or Looks Fine.
When something looks serious, the app can silently notify a family member who reviews it with a single tap.
You can do this for them, or walk them through it over the phone.
Search "Senior Fraud Watch" in the App Store, or tap the TestFlight button above. Install the app and open it.
Go to Settings, then Messages, then Unknown & Spam, and enable Senior Fraud Watch under Message Filtering. This lets the app silently review incoming texts — it never sees your contacts or content from known senders.
Go to Settings, then Phone, then Call Blocking & Identification, and enable Senior Fraud Watch. Suspected scam callers will be silenced automatically.
Open the app and tap "Add Trusted Contact." Enter a family member's email. They'll get a link to review anything suspicious before you respond.
Got a suspicious text or email? Long-press the message, tap Share, then choose "Check with Senior Fraud Watch." You'll get a verdict in seconds.
Senior Fraud Watch is built so that even if our servers vanished overnight, your protection would keep working. Detection happens entirely on the device, in a sandbox iOS provides for exactly this purpose.
Runs inside Apple's Message Filter sandbox. We see only the sender + body for messages from people not in your contacts, and only long enough to classify them.
A list of known fraud numbers is loaded into iOS. iOS itself blocks the calls — we never see the number that called.
A 1,000+ rule local model runs in milliseconds. No server, no internet required. Works the same on a plane as it does at home.
Share-sheet checks and family alerts are explicit opt-ins. Nothing is sent without an active tap, and content is never stored long-term.
Apple's App Privacy report can confirm this: open Settings → Privacy & Security → App Privacy Report to see exactly what Senior Fraud Watch does (and doesn't) do on the network.
