Intego keeps your connection private on Wi-Fi you don't control, tells you whether the network you're on is safe, and shows you which of your iPhone's own protections have been left switched off. Apple builds strong protection into every iPhone. Intego doesn't replace it. It covers the parts Apple leaves to you. A private connection, wherever you are Café and hotel Wi-Fi isn't private. Switch on Intego VPN and what you do online is your own business again. Your location stays hidden, and we keep no record of the sites you visit. One tap to connect, one tap to stop. Check the Wi-Fi before you trust it Before you open your bank on a network you don't know, run a quick check. Intego tells you how fast the Wi-Fi is and whether it has spotted a problem. Ten seconds, and you know where you stand. Is your iPhone secure? Your iPhone has good protection built in, but some of it only works once you've switched it on, and most people have never looked. Intego checks: - Whether your iPhone is locked with a passcode - Whether Face ID or Touch ID is switched on - Whether apps are allowed to follow what you do - Whether you're running the latest software your device supports - Whether anything has been changed that removes Apple's protections - Whether your screen is being recorded If something needs attention, Intego tells you what it found and what to do about it. Complete protection for your Mac and iPhone Intego for iPhone is included with Intego ONE Complete, bringing privacy and security for your iPhone together with trusted protection for your Mac.

Scams don't look like scams anymore. The text about a missed delivery. The call that says it's your bank. The grandchild who needs money right now and asks you not to tell anyone. They're written to work — and they work best on someone who's alone with them. Kept Safe gives your family somewhere to check. CHECK ANYTHING THAT FEELS OFF Paste a text or email, add a screenshot, or scan a QR code before you follow it. You get a plain-language answer in seconds: what it looks like, why, and what to do next. No jargon, no score out of ten. SOMEONE CALLED YOU? Answer a few short questions about the call and get a read on it — including the ones that impersonate a bank, a government agency, or a family member in trouble. NOBODY HAS TO DECIDE ALONE Add the people you trust to your Circle. When something dangerous arrives, they're told — so a scam becomes a conversation instead of a decision made alone at the kitchen table. A FAMILY SAFE WORD Agree on a word only your family knows. If a caller claims to be your grandchild and can't produce it, you have your answer. It stays inside your family's account and is never sent anywhere else. LEARN THE PATTERNS Short videos on the scams actually being run right now: the grandparent scam, government impersonation, tech support, gift card demands, package delivery texts, bank alerts, romance scams, prize and lottery scams, verification codes, and how to spot a fake website. WHEN SOMETHING HAS ALREADY HAPPENED Step-by-step guides for the worst moments — money already sent, an account taken over, or a teenager being blackmailed over photos. Written to be followed while you're panicking. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Kept Safe is for the person being targeted and for the adult children who worry about them. Everyone gets the same app. Nobody gets a "senior mode." WE'LL TELL YOU WHEN WE'RE NOT SURE We lean toward caution. No tool catches everything — so if something still feels wrong after we've looked at it, trust that feeling and check with someone you trust. Kept Safe is an auto-renewable monthly subscription.
