## What is Bewary?

Got a text, a call, or an email that does not feel right? Ask Bewary. Paste it, take a picture of it, or just say out loud what happened, and you get a clear answer in seconds: scam, suspicious, or safe. One plain reason why, and exactly what to do next.

No jargon. No guessing. Just a straight answer when you need one.


Is this a scam? Just ask

• Say it out loud: describe the call, or read the message, and Bewary checks what you said
• Paste a text, a link, an email, or a phone number
• Send a screenshot, a QR code, or a photo of what is happening in front of you
• Or use the Share button in any app to send a link, a picture, or a contact card
• A verdict in seconds, one plain-language reason, and simple steps for what to do next


Already clicked, called, or paid?

• When a check comes back scam or suspicious, tap "I already clicked or paid"
• Pick what you did: tapped a link, sent money, gave a code, shared a password
• Bewary builds a plan around your answers, most urgent step first
• Who to call, what to change, where to report it, and the links to do it


Scam texts, sent to junk

• Bewary Protect sends scam texts from unknown numbers straight to junk
• Fewer fake delivery, bank, and "you won a prize" messages
• You switch it on once in your iPhone settings, and Bewary walks you through it


Know which calls to ignore

• Reported scam and spam numbers get a warning label when they ring
• Spot the fake bank or government call before you pick up
• Bewary never blocks a call for you, so you decide whether to answer


Watch your email and your number

• Bewary tells you if your email address turns up in a known data breach
• It also checks whether your phone number is being reported as a scam number
• Keep watch and get an alert when something new appears


Look after the people you love

• Add up to five people: parents, kids, or anyone you look out for
• One subscription covers everyone you add, at no extra cost to them
• See at a glance who may need a hand


What is free, and what is not

Every month you get free checks, and Bewary always shows how many you have left. You can watch one email address and one phone number for free. Bewary Protect adds unlimited checks, scam texts filed to junk, warning labels on scam calls, more addresses and numbers to watch, and the family hub. It is a monthly or yearly subscription and it renews until you cancel.


Your privacy comes first

Bewary is built to protect you, not track you. Location is used only to sharpen a check on a photo you take, never in the background and never stored. Your checks are used to keep you safe, never sold.


Stay wary. Stay safe.

### How often is Bewary updated?

Bewary was last updated on July 25, 2026, with version 1.2. This suggests regular updates to improve its scam detection capabilities and features.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-25

Typing a check is fixed. The keyboard used to cover the buttons at the bottom of the box, so there was no way to send what you had typed without closing it first. The box now stops just above the keys, and you can put the keyboard away by tapping the paper or swiping the text down. Your text is kept either way.

Buttons that ask your permission are green now, so a step that grants something never looks like a step that just moves you along.

The microphone, camera and photo prompts now say Bewary, matching the name iOS shows above them.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-20

New: Speak instead of typing

Tap Speak, describe the call or read the message out loud, and Bewary checks what you said. Nothing leaves your phone until you agree to send it.

Also in this release

• Smoother movement between steps, sheets and screens
• A main screen that no longer shifts around while it loads
• Cleaner, calmer layouts and more readable text throughout
• Clearer icons across the app
• When your free checks are gone, Bewary tells you before it starts a check instead of after
• Your free-check counter now shows the right number

### 1.3 — 2026-08-01

Turning on scam text filtering is honest now. iOS will not let Bewary check that switch, so we ask you to confirm, and you can take it back.

Also in this update:
• Tapping a tab takes you back to the top
• Caller warnings all read Bewary
• More scam numbers flagged, now caught by text as well as by call

### 1.2 — 2026-07-25

Free checks are no longer a mystery. The Check screen and Settings both show how many you have left this month.

Hit your free limit part way through a check? Subscribe and Bewary picks that same check straight back up, instead of making you start over.

Also in this update:
• The upgrade screen fits on one screen, with nothing hidden under a scroll
• Photo checks can use where a photo was taken, and onboarding explains why before asking
• Every sheet closes with a swipe, the way iOS expects
• One loading indicator across the whole app
• A watched number we cannot check now says so, instead of retrying forever
• Settings shows the version you are actually running

### 1.1 — 2026-07-24

Bewary is now easier to read: bigger text and clearer layouts across the whole app, so every alert can be scanned at a glance.

New in Alerts: see the scams going around right now. Search the live scam library and filter by texts, emails, calls, DMs, or social, newest first and dated.

Also in this update:
• One family timeline in Alerts, with a filter for each person you protect
• Email leak and phone exposure results are simpler to act on
• You can now remove a family member you no longer protect
• Fixed a rare crash when checking a photo
• Security and reliability hardening under the hood
