iOS 27 users warned to check one privacy setting immediately

A TikTok tech expert urged iOS 27 users to enable a new scam-risk setting.

Scott Polderman said Impersonation Risk Detection lets apps request Apple signals to identify signs of an active scam; users can view an app’s risk rating after 24 hours. iOS 27 was released September 14. Some commenters questioned data collection and tracking, while one reported battery drain. Newsweek said it had contacted Apple for comment.
