How it works

  1. Show it

    Paste the message text, or pick a screenshot.
  2. Check it

    Text in screenshots is read on your iPhone. Before anything is judged, you can check and correct what was read — such as the domain of a link.
  3. Understand it

    In seconds you get a risk score, the reasons it looks suspicious, and what to do next.

What makes BeFox different

Reasons you can check

The sender's address, where a link really goes (checked against official domains), phone numbers, and common scam patterns — BeFox shows why it flagged a message.

Advice for your situation

Haven't tapped the link yet? Still in contact with the sender? BeFox leads with the step that matters most right now.

Never "safe" by default

When nothing clearly wrong is found, BeFox says exactly that — not that the message is safe. AI can be wrong, and we say so.

Privacy first

Images never leave your phone. No account needed. Unless you agree, the text you send is not stored.

Reading the score

The closer the score is to 100, the higher the risk. A score is a guide, not a verdict — please look at the reasons shown, too.

In an emergency

BeFox gives an estimate, not a guarantee. In Japan, call 110 if you are in danger. If you are worried about losing money, call the police consultation line #9110 or the consumer hotline 188.
