Bad link on this iPhone · walk through it here
Breathe. One tap is scary · it is rarely the end of the story. Innsegall does not scan your iPhone · we are honest about that. A scout on a Mac only lights up that computer · it cannot answer "is this phone okay?" Follow the steps for what actually happened · then read when a Mac scout helps.
Step 1 · First minute (stay calm)
- Stop tapping · close the tab or message.
- If Safari is stuck or screaming, force-quit Safari and reopen without restoring tabs.
- Do not install anything the page offers · do not add a configuration profile you did not plan.
- Do not type Apple ID · email · or bank passwords on that site or in a reply.
Step 2 · Match what happened
Pick the row that fits · do only that row's next move.
- I only read the page · You are usually fine. Optional: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data → remove that site.
- Something downloaded · See downloaded a file below · or Files → Downloads → delete without opening.
- A profile was offered or installed · Settings → General → VPN & Device Management · remove profiles you do not recognize (keep work or school profiles you expect).
- Safari feels hijacked · Review Safari extensions · clear website data for suspicious sites · see fake popup if a virus warning appeared.

Opened a suspicious email on iPhone
Reading email in Mail is usually lower risk than tapping links · but phishing emails hunt for the next tap. Innsegall does not scan your iPhone · we are honest about that. A scout on a Mac only lights up that computer · it cannot answer "is this phone okay?"
What to do on this iPhone
- Do not tap links or buttons in the message · do not reply with passwords or codes.
- If you already tapped a link, jump to bad link steps.
- Mark as junk · block the sender · delete the thread.
- If it looked like your bank or Apple, open the real app or type the site yourself · never use the email link.
- Worried you typed a password? See typed a password.

Downloaded something suspicious on iPhone
A file sitting in Downloads is not the same as running it. Innsegall does not scan your iPhone · we are honest about that. A scout on a Mac only lights up that computer · it cannot answer "is this phone okay?"
What to do on this iPhone
- If you have not opened the file: Files → Downloads (or Safari downloads) → delete it · empty Recently Deleted.
- If you opened it and it was a document or PDF only · close it · delete the file · you are often fine.
- If you installed an app you did not plan: long-press the icon → Remove App · delete.
- If Settings shows an unknown profile: Settings → General → VPN & Device Management · remove it.
- Download happened on your Mac too? Mac after suspicious download · Send the scout on that computer.

Fake virus or security popup on iPhone
Safari scam pages love urgency · they are theater, not a diagnosis. Innsegall does not scan your iPhone · we are honest about that. A scout on a Mac only lights up that computer · it cannot answer "is this phone okay?" Mac popups: fake virus popup on Mac.
What to do on this iPhone
- Do not call the phone number on screen · do not install their app.
- Force-quit Safari · reopen without restoring tabs.
- Settings → Safari → Block Pop-ups on · review Extensions.
- If a calendar spam invite appeared: delete the event · do not tap links in the invite.
- Still seeing alerts? Restart the iPhone once · then check for unknown profiles.

Typed a password on a scam site · iPhone
That is the horn · not shame. Account care on a device you trust comes before any Mac app. Innsegall does not scan your iPhone · we are honest about that. A scout on a Mac only lights up that computer · it cannot answer "is this phone okay?"
Do this next (another device if you can)
- Change email password first · then banking · then anything else you typed.
- Sign out other sessions where the service allows it.
- Turn on two-factor authentication if you have not.
- Watch for password-reset emails you did not start · ignore links · use the real app.
- Mac also involved? Send the scout only for the computer · not as a phone scanner.
