Apple has released iOS 27, bringing new security features to iPhones. One such feature is Impersonation Risk Detection, designed to protect users from scams. This feature is triggered when a user performs actions like sending payments or changing passwords in supported apps. The app then asks the iPhone for a risk assessment based on past interaction patterns, timing, context, and sensor data.
The result is a risk level of "Unknown," "Medium," or "High," which the app decides how to handle. Users can view this feature's activity in the Settings menu, but it may be hard to find. Apple suggests enabling the feature by default, but it is currently located deep in the Privacy and Security settings. While the feature could be useful, it may be cumbersome for users to locate and enable.
