Something feels off? Check it before you act. isReal gives you a clear second opinion on suspicious screenshots. Choose a screenshot of a text message, email, social DM, marketplace conversation, job offer, payment request, delivery notice, or website. isReal reads the text, looks for common scam patterns, and explains what deserves your attention. WHAT ISREAL CHECKS • Pressure and urgency designed to make you act without thinking • Impersonation of banks, delivery companies, employers, government agencies, or people you know • Suspicious links and destinations that do not match the claimed sender • Unusual payment requests, including gift cards, crypto, fees, and off-platform payments • Requests for passwords, verification codes, recovery phrases, or personal details CLEAR, PRACTICAL RESULTS Instead of a mysterious score, isReal shows the warning signs it found, explains why they matter, and suggests a safer next step—such as opening the company’s official app or contacting it through a trusted number. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND You choose every screenshot that is checked. The screenshot is securely uploaded for that check and processed to produce the risk report. isReal does not save the selected screenshot. Saved reports stay on your device and do not include the original screenshot. IMPORTANT isReal is an informational second opinion, not a guarantee that content is safe or fraudulent. Never send money, passwords, payment details, recovery phrases, or verification codes based solely on a scan result. Verify important requests through an independently located official app, website, or trusted phone number. Subscription options may include weekly access and a yearly plan with a 3-day free trial. Prices and availability appear in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel through your Apple ID settings.
