Elder fraud protection for Android and iPhone
Before your loved one clicks, they can ask you.
Elder Guard blocks the numbers you choose on your loved one’s phone. When a call, text, email or link seems off, they ask you “Is this safe?” and you answer from your phone. Nothing starts until your loved one agrees.

How it works
Block. Ask. Answer.
Three things, on two phones.
-
1
Block
Numbers you block don’t ring on your loved one’s phone. You can also turn on scam-number blocking (it’s off by default), so numbers many people have reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) don’t ring either.
-
2
Ask
When a call, text, email or link seems off, your loved one asks you one question: “Is this safe?”
-
3
Answer
You see what they saw and answer “It’s safe”, “It’s a scam” or “I’ll call you”, with a note if you like.
Your loved one stays in charge. Elder Guard starts only after they read what will be shared and agree, and they can remove it whenever they want. Read the For Elders page.
Two phones, two jobs
On the Elder’s phone
- Help with scam calls. On Android it screens calls and blocks likely scam calls or reports them to you. On iPhone it blocks the numbers you list and helps turn on Silence Unknown Callers.
- Android warns about likely scam texts. On iPhone it sorts likely scam texts from unknown senders into Junk and never reads texts.
- A button sends you their question, “Is this safe?”, about a call, text, email or link.
On the Guardian’s phone
- A notification when your loved one asks, and reports of likely scams by default. Seeing every text on Android is a separate choice, and your loved one is told.
- See what they saw and answer “It’s safe”, “It’s a scam” or “I’ll call you”, with a note.
- Choose the protection, keep blocked and trusted numbers, and invite up to two more Guardians, who never pay.
What the FBI’s 2025 report shows
Scammers are professionals. They rush, they threaten and they ask for secrecy. A quick check with family gives your loved one a calm second opinion.

Elder Guard gives your loved one someone to ask before they act.

On Android, you get a report when a likely scam text or call arrives, so you can step in before your loved one is harmed.

Privacy: help without hovering

Nothing starts without a yes
Elder Guard explains what will be shared and starts only after your loved one agrees.

End-to-end encrypted
What their phone sends you is locked so only your phone can open it. We can’t read it.

No ads. Nothing sold.
No advertising, and we never sell personal information.
What families ask first
What is Elder Guard?
Elder fraud protection for Android and iPhone. A family member, the Guardian, sets it up for an older relative, the Elder, who agrees on their own phone. When a call, text, email or link seems off, the Elder asks “Is this safe?” and the Guardian answers.
Who pays?
The first 7 days are free. Then the App Store or Google Play charges a monthly subscription until you cancel (see pricing). Only the Guardian who subscribes pays: your loved one and the Guardians you invite never pay. On iPhone, cancel at least 24 hours before the free days end.
Can Elder Guard read my loved one’s messages?
We can’t. Likely scams are spotted on your loved one’s phone. What it sends is end-to-end encrypted: only their Guardians’ phones can open it. See what we can and can’t see.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes, in the ways iPhone allows. It sorts likely scam texts from unknown senders into Junk and blocks numbers you list, and it never reads texts. Compare Android and iPhone.
Can my loved one stop it?
Yes. Elder Guard starts only after your loved one agrees, and they can remove protection from their phone any time. It is either on or removed; there is nothing in between.
Where do I cancel?
In Google Play or the App Store, under subscriptions, any time. On iPhone, cancel at least 24 hours before the free days end so you aren’t charged.
Scammers rush. You don’t have to.
Give your loved one a calm second opinion from someone they already trust.
