With Siri and Trend Micro ScamCheck, you can quickly check for scams using just your voice. Simply say:

“Hey Siri, is this a scam?”

Siri will activate Trend Micro ScamCheck to analyze your screen instantly, without needing to open the app or upload anything manually.

Why Use Siri for Scam Detection?

  • Quick and easy scam detection with a single voice command
  • No need for manual steps like taking screenshots or uploading content
  • Exclusive to iOS devices
  • Requires exact voice match: Say "Hey Siri, is this a scam?"

Set Up Siri Shortcut for ScamCheck

If you didn’t set up the Siri Shortcut when you first installed Trend Micro ScamCheck, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Trend Micro ScamCheck app.
  2. Tap Settings (top-right corner).
  3. Tap Set up Shortcut.
  4. When "Is this a Scam?" appears, tap Add Shortcut.

You're all set! Now you can say, "Hey Siri, is this a scam?" to start a Scam Check with your current screen.

Ensure "Talk to Siri" is Enabled

For the Siri Shortcut to work, make sure Talk to Siri is enabled on your device. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap Siri & Search or Apple Intelligence & Siri.
  3. Select Talk to Siri.
  4. Make sure it’s not set to Off. Choose either:
    • "Siri" or "Hey Siri", or
    • "Hey Siri"

Now you can say, "Hey Siri, is this a scam?" and Siri will run ScamCheck using the current screen.

ScamCheck vs. Siri Shortcut

Understanding the difference between using ScamCheck manually and using the Siri Shortcut can help you choose the best method:

  • Manual Scam Check: Open the Trend Micro ScamCheck app and upload a screenshot or link for analysis.
  • Siri Shortcut: Say "Hey Siri, is this a scam?" and ScamCheck runs instantly using your current screen—no need to upload or tap anything.

Siri Shortcut offers a faster, more convenient way to access the same scam detection feature, making it ideal for quick checks.
