Do Not Let Your Family Get Scammed.
Ingat is a free AI-powered app that detects SMS scams in real time — built by Filipinos, for Filipinos. Install it on the phones of the people you love.
No ads. No subscriptions. No data collection. Libre para sa lahat.
The Problem
Every day, millions of Filipinos receive messages like these:
They look real. They feel urgent. And too many people fall for them. Generic spam filters don't work — they weren't built for Filipino scams, Taglish, or GCash impersonation. Ingat does.
Features
Protection That Understands Filipino.
Ingat runs quietly in the background, analyzing every incoming SMS automatically. The moment a scam text lands, Ingat flags it — before you even open the message.
Our AI was trained on thousands of real scam messages reported by Filipinos — in English, Filipino, and Taglish. It recognizes local scam patterns and institution impersonation.
When Ingat flags a message, it tells you exactly which elements triggered the warning — the suspicious link, the fake sender, the urgency language.
Got a suspicious text forwarded in the family group chat? Paste any message into Ingat and get an instant risk assessment with a confidence score.
Ingat's core detection engine works offline, protecting users in rural areas, during outages, or anywhere connectivity is limited.
Verification codes and bank messages never leave your phone. Safe messages are discarded immediately after analysis. Only confirmed scam messages are retained anonymously to improve protection for all Filipinos.
How It Works
Just Three Steps.
Get Ingat from Google Play. Libre lang. Takes less than a minute to set up.
Ingat runs in the background. No daily check-ins, no configuration. It just works.
When a scam text arrives, Ingat warns you immediately with a detailed analysis.
Testimonials
"My nanay received a 'BDO account locked' text and was about to click the link. Ingat caught it immediately. That could have been her entire savings."Denise R. Cavite — daughter of a 62-year-old Ingat user

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Ingat is 100% free — today, tomorrow, and always. There are no subscriptions, no premium tiers, no in-app purchases, and no ads. We built Ingat as a public safety tool. Walang catch.
Ingat uses a machine learning model trained on thousands of real scam messages collected from Filipino users and public reports. The AI analyzes multiple aspects: sender information, language patterns, URLs, urgency cues, and impersonation tactics specific to the Philippines.
Ingat uses a multi-layer approach: a fast on-device detector runs first. If a message needs deeper analysis, it is sent securely to our AI server. Safe messages are immediately discarded after analysis — never stored. Only confirmed scam messages are retained in anonymized form to train our AI and protect other Filipinos. Verification codes and bank messages never leave your phone at all.
Yes. Ingat's core detection engine runs on-device and does not require an internet connection. Internet connectivity enhances protection with updates, but offline detection works reliably for known scam patterns.
Bank impersonation (BDO, BPI, Metrobank), e-wallet impersonation (GCash, Maya), government agency scams (SSS, Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth), lottery/prize scams, job offer scams, phishing links, investment scams, fake delivery notifications, and OFW-targeted remittance scams.
Absolutely — and we encourage it. Ingat was designed for users who are not tech-savvy. Once installed, it runs automatically in the background with zero maintenance.
Not yet, but actively in development targeting Q3 2026. In the meantime, you can use our manual scanner to check suspicious messages.
