Hold Up: Scam Check

Five free checks, no account, nothing uploaded. Share a suspicious text and get a plain answer before anyone taps a link or sends money. Works in Airplane Mode.

Got a text saying your Apple ID is locked? A delivery fee to pay? A grandchild who needs gift cards?

Take a screenshot and share it to Hold Up. It reads the message right on your iPhone and gives you a plain answer:

• Likely scam • Unclear • Looks ok

Then it names three things it noticed in that specific message, and tells you what to do — usually: do not tap that link.

NOTHING IS UPLOADED There is no account to make. Turn on Airplane Mode and it still works, because the whole check happens on your phone. Your history stays on the device.

BUILT TO BE READ OUT LOUD Large type, high contrast, and one thing to tap. Made for the moment you are on the phone with a parent trying to talk them out of sending money.

TWO TAPS FROM MESSAGES Screenshot the message, tap Share, tap Hold Up. That is the whole thing.

Hold Up is a second opinion, not a guarantee. If money or passwords are involved, hang up and use a number you already know.

Five free checks. Then $19.99 a year, or $2.99 a month.
