Read guide →Questions
Does my iPhone need an antivirus?
iPhones run each app in its own sandbox, so traditional viruses are rare, and no App Store app can scan other apps for malware. The real risks are phishing texts, leaked passwords, outdated iOS and unsafe networks. The checklist covers those; a security app adds reminders and filters on top.
Is the free checklist enough on its own?
For most people, yes, if you repeat it every few months. Forteya mainly adds convenience: a settings review, text and web filters and breach alerts in one place.
Did my iPhone send me here because something is wrong?
No. This site is a general guide. It cannot see your phone, and nothing here means your device is infected or hacked. Be wary of any website that claims otherwise.
How do I cancel the subscription?
Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Forteya and tap Cancel Subscription. You keep access until the end of the paid period. The free trial lasts 3 days; cancel at least 24 hours before it ends to avoid the first $9.99 charge.
Do you track what I tick on the checklist?
No. Your ticks are saved only in your own browser. See our Privacy Policy.
