Report a message from the Messages app (iMessage)

Use the SmishAlert app inside Messages to report and analyze a conversation.

When you're in a conversation in the Messages app, you can open the SmishAlert iMessage app to report that conversation and get an instant threat assessment.

How to report from Messages

  • Open the Messages app and open the conversation containing the suspicious message.
  • Tap the App Store icon (or the three dots) next to the message input to open the app drawer.
  • Find and tap the SmishAlert app icon.
  • Follow the in-app steps: you may be asked to confirm or add details. SmishAlert will analyze the conversation and show you a threat category and assessment (e.g. Clean, Suspicious, High risk).

You must have an active subscription for the Messages extension to submit reports. If you see a prompt to subscribe, open the main SmishAlert app and tap to subscribe, or see Why do I see 'Subscribe to continue'? for more help.
