Enable the Fraudulent Website Warning in Safari on an iPhone 7 can be handled directly on a current iPhone, although some menu names have changed since older iOS versions. The steps below focus on the current interface and note important differences where they matter.
Steps to use the current setting
- Open Settings.
- Tap Apps, then Safari.
- Find the privacy or security section.
- Turn Fraudulent Website Warning on.
This warning is designed to help identify suspected phishing or deceptive sites. It is not a substitute for checking the address before entering passwords or payment information.
What to know
These instructions are written for current iPhone software rather than preserving an outdated model-specific path. If your device runs an older iOS release, the same feature may appear one level higher in Settings or use slightly different wording.
A warning does not guarantee that every unflagged site is safe, and legitimate sites can occasionally be compromised. Treat unexpected login prompts, unusual domains, and urgent payment requests cautiously even when Safari shows no warning.
If the feature is unavailable, confirm the iPhone is running the newest software it supports. Some controls also depend on the installed app version, carrier, region, or iPhone hardware, so an option shown on one device may legitimately be absent on another.
