### iVerify Basic (iOS)

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

**iVerify Basic** is an iOS app which can scan your device to check configuration settings, patch level, and other areas of security. It also checks your device for indicators of compromise by jailbreak tools or of [:material-target-account: Targeted Attacks](basics/common-threats.md#attacks-against-specific-individuals){ .pg-red } such as [Pegasus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)).

Previously, iVerify would scan your device for threats automatically in the background and notify you if one is found, but this is [no longer the case](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/iverify-basic-is-now-available-on-android/18458/11) following their rebrand of the consumer app to *iVerify Basic* in May 2024. You can still run manual scans within the app. Automatic background scanning is now only available in iVerify's enterprise product which is unavailable to consumers.

Like all iOS apps, iVerify Basic is restricted to what it can observe about your device from within the iOS App Sandbox. It will not provide nearly as robust analysis as a full-system analysis tool like [MVT](#mobile-verification-toolkit). Its primary function is to detect whether your device is jailbroken, which it is effective at, however a hypothetical threat which is *specifically* designed to bypass iVerify's checks would likely succeed at doing so.

iVerify Basic is **not** an "antivirus" tool, and will not detect non-system-level malware such as malicious custom keyboards or malicious Wi-Fi Sync configurations, for example.

In addition to device scanning, iVerify Basic also includes a number of additional security utilities which you may find useful, including device [reboot reminders](os/ios-overview.md#before-first-unlock), iOS update notifications (which are often faster than Apple's staggered update notification rollout), and some basic privacy and security guides.
