Report a message or screenshot with the Share extension
Use the SmishAlert share extension to report images (e.g. screenshots) from Photos or other apps.
The SmishAlert Share extension lets you send a screenshot (or any image) of a suspicious message to SmishAlert for analysis. This is useful when the message is in an app that doesn't support Report Junk (e.g. some third-party messaging apps) or when you've already taken a screenshot.
How to use the Share extension
- Take a screenshot of the suspicious message (see our guide on how to take a screenshot on different iPhones if needed).
- Open the Photos app and find the screenshot.
- Tap the Share button (square with an arrow).
- Scroll the share sheet and tap SmishAlert (or More and enable SmishAlert if you don't see it).
- The image is sent to SmishAlert for analysis. You may see a brief confirmation in the extension; results appear in the SmishAlert app.
Reporting via the Share extension requires an active subscription. If you see "Subscribe to continue," open the SmishAlert app and tap to subscribe, or see Why do I see 'Subscribe to continue'? in this help center.
