- Check a Message now gives you tailored next steps based on exactly what it found in your message, not a generic list. You can also export your Scam Log — as a text file you can save, email, or share with family. - We also improved accessibility throughout the app: ScamVu now respects your Reduce Motion setting in Check a Message, Learn, and Guided Check, VoiceOver moves automatically to your results so you don't have to search for them, and Guided Check's contact-method screen adapts better at larger text sizes. - Plus a small fix to the Spanish-language FTC reporting link.
