## What is Sophos Intercept X for Mobile?

Sophos Intercept X for Mobile helps you to work safely on your iPhone or iPad. Security functionality includes highlighting important operating system updates and detecting malicious Wi-Fi connections. Furthermore, it provides a secure QR code scanner to read URLs, a password safe, and the ability to generate verification codes for multi-factor authentication (for example Google 2-Step Verification).

Key features:

WI-FI SECURITY
• Detect man-in-the-middle network attacks.

SECURE QR CODE SCANNER
Use the integrated QR code scanner to read and process the embedded information of URL, contact, and Wi-Fi codes:
• Check URLs for malicious or inappropriate web pages using up-to-the-minute intelligence from SophosLabs and open them in Safari if they are safe.
• Add contacts delivered as QR codes to your address book.
• Copy password information from Wi-Fi QR codes to the clipboard to easily set up Wi-Fi connections.

AUTHENTICATOR
Generate one-time passwords (also called verification codes) to easily log in to your accounts that use multi-factor authentication.
• Time-based (TOTP) and counter-based (HOTP) one-time passwords according to RFC 6238 and RFC 4226.
• Automatic setup through QR code.
• Manual setup possible for services that do not provide a QR code.
• Unlimited number of accounts.
• Support for Sophos UTM, Sophos Central, Google and any compatible multi-factor authentication.

PASSWORD SAFE
• Store all your account data in a KeePass-compatible password database.

MANAGED MODE
• Connect the app to Sophos Mobile or Sophos Central to allow your organization to monitor your device’s compliance status.

INTUNE MOBILE THREAT DEFENSE (MTD)
• Connect the app to your organization’s Microsoft Intune account to restrict access to corporate data based on the device’s compliance status. This requires Sophos Central.

Web Filtering, which is available on supervised devices and when the app is in managed mode, uses browsing history data to block web pages with malicious, undesirable, or illegal content. The app doesn’t use browsing history data for other purposes.

### 3/5 — Ummm I think I’m hacked

*2026-04-28*

My app does not appear as the screenshot says they should. I’m missing the web filtering tab. I got this from the App Store. I purchased because i know someone is in my sister and missing half of the app just confirms

### 3/5 — Is this updated?

*2026-04-17, version 9.7.13*

Reasonable app but has not been updated since last may (2025).  Not good for a security focused app.

### 3/5 — Its okay

*2025-11-04, version 9.7.13*

What i am missing is - the “qr code reader” should allow to zoom in…

Many times i could not scan the code as i was too far..

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-03-12*

This app runs in the background. Works fine. I have never had a problem with it.

### 3/5 — Compatibilité avec fichiers keepass

*2024-12-08*

Cette application n’est pas entièrement compatible avec les fichiers Keepass .kdbx (les paramètres de transformation de Clés, de la base de données sont faibles).

### 4/5 — Sehr gute App mit Verbesserungspotential

*2024-12-07*

Die App an sich ist super übersichtlich. Sehr gut finde ich auch die zusätzlichen Features die fernab der Kernfunktionalität eingebaut wurden. 
Besonders hervorheben möchte ich hier den sicheren qr code scanner. Gerade auf die brandaktuelle neue Bedrohungslage bezüglich QR Codes ermöglicht es einen guten Schutz.
Ich würde mir lediglich wünschen, dass er nicht in einem Untermenü vergraben wird bzw. Es ein Widget/Schnellzugriff dafür gibt

### 1/5 — Will or Won't work with old iOS

*2024-11-20*

While the app is OK it keeps telling me I am at risk because I will not install the latest iOS. It does not say how you are at risk. Why?  Will this app even run correctly with protection on an older iOS?  Again I can not figure that out. Their "support" webpage was also unable to help me figure this out. So I deleted it as I am not sure what it does now. Incidentally, Apple will remind you there is a new iOS. If I want to install it. But are these people aware Apple also has downloads for only for Security for older iOS?

### 2/5 — What has happened with the latest update?!

*2024-10-25*

I used to be a great fan of this app, mainly for the Authenticator but also in informing me of updates available.  Lately though, the Authenticator scroll function is completely up the wall, so I now struggle to read some of my codes without it jumping to the end or start…

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2024-10-09*

Gute App aber wo ist das Web Filtering

### 3/5 — Home User/Unmanaged User

*2024-09-23*

The lack of information on a dashboard or running log (like in the Home Premium product) makes me question what this app is actually doing in the background, if anything.  

This product, if it’s going to be the only one for iPhone/iOS needs integration with the other Home products.  

The lack of monitoring data to the user doesn’t make anyone feel safer and give a reason for the customer/user to keep app on their device.  

Give us something to indicate that the app is doing something constructive and show we’re actually being protected by this application.
