iOS 27 Trust Insights framework detects social engineering scams as they happen in real time

Apple unveiled Trust Insights, a new iOS 27 framework that uses on-device behavioral pattern analysis to detect when users may be falling victim to social engineering scams. The system analyzes interaction patterns, timing, and context without inspecting message contents, then assigns risk levels to trigger app warnings and verification steps during suspected fraud attempts.
