FamVerify

About

FamVerify helps you answer one simple question: is this really them? Scammers are becoming increasingly convincing. A message claiming to be from your child with a new phone number, a call from someone pretending to be a parent or partner, or even an AI-generated voice can make it harder than ever to know who you're really speaking to. FamVerify gives families a simple way to verify each other when something doesn't feel right. Create your Circle of Trust Create a private family circle and invite the people you trust. You can belong to more than one circle, so you can create one with your partner and children, another with your parents, or organise your trusted contacts in whatever way works best for your family. Request a verification Received a suspicious message or phone call? Open FamVerify and request a verification from that person. Instead of relying on security questions, memorable words or information a scammer may be able to discover, FamVerify uses registered trusted devices to help confirm that the person responding is really a member of your circle. Designed to be simple Security shouldn't require everyone in the family to understand how the technology behind it works. FamVerify is designed to make verification straightforward, whether you're comfortable with technology or only open the app when somebody asks you to verify. Open the app, authenticate securely on your device and respond to the verification request. That's it. Built around trusted devices FamVerify uses secure device identity technology to help protect your account. Your device creates its own cryptographic identity, with sensitive credentials protected using the security features built into your phone. Where supported, Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode can be used before completing sensitive actions. Private family circles Your trusted contacts aren't placed into a public directory. FamVerify is built around private Circles of Trust created and joined through secure invitations. Only the people you choose to invite become part of your circle. Useful when something feels wrong FamVerify isn't designed to replace your messaging apps or phone calls. It's there for the moment when you stop and think: "Is this actually you?" Instead of continuing the conversation with a potentially fraudulent account, contact your family member through FamVerify and ask them to confirm their identity independently. Built to help families fight impersonation scams Technology is making it easier for scammers to imitate the people we know. FamVerify gives families another tool to fight back, one that's simple enough to set up before you ever need it. Create your Circle of Trust. Invite your family. And when something doesn't feel right, verify. CIRCLE SUBSCRIPTIONS A Circle owner needs an active paid subscription to activate their Circle. Plans, capacity and prices are shown in the app. Subscriptions are managed through the App Store; other members join through invitations. A successful check confirms a response from a registered trusted phone. FamVerify does not listen to calls or analyse messages, and a successful check does not guarantee that a request is safe. Accounts are for ages 13 and over. Anyone under 18 needs permission from a parent or legal guardian. FamVerify - Know it's really them.
