Have you ever downloaded an app that turned out to be a scam or fraudulent? It can be frustrating and even dangerous to have such apps on your iPhone or iPad. Fortunately, Apple has made it easier to report such apps directly from the App Store. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of reporting scamming apps in the App Store on your iOS or iPadOS device.
Firstly, open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and find the app that you want to report. Scroll down to the information section and tap on the “Report a Problem” option. You will be prompted to sign in to your account.
After signing in, tap on the drop-down menu located next to “I would like to”. A pop-up menu with multiple options will appear, including “Request a refund”, “Reporter qualities”, “Find my content”, “Report a scam or fraud”, “Report offensive or illegal content”. Select the “Report a scam or fraud” option.
Next, describe the issue you faced with the app and click on “Submit”. Apple will confirm that it will look into the matter, but it won’t send you a reply. However, you can rest assured that they will investigate the issue and take appropriate action.
Previously, it was difficult to report scamming apps in the App Store. The only way was to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the apps or games tab and then get kicked out to a website where you had to re-sign in. Apple would only let you report a quality issue if you had already paid money and had fallen for the scam. However, with a recent update, you can now directly report scam or phone apps in the App Store on your iOS or iPadOS device.
In conclusion, reporting scamming apps in the App Store is now easy and straightforward. Simply follow the steps mentioned above and take on bad apps or fraud apps on your iOS or iPadOS device. Stay safe and happy browsing!
