On May 21, Apple announced that it successfully blocked more than $2.2 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions on the App Store during 2025. This achievement is part of Apple's broader strategy to enhance security and fraud prevention across its digital marketplace. The company reported that its fraud detection systems have prevented over $11.2 billion in fraudulent transactions over the last six years. In addition to blocking fraudulent transactions, Apple rejected over two million app submissions in 2025 for various issues, including privacy violations and financial scams. The company also faced significant challenges from fake account creations, rejecting more than 1.1 billion attempts to create fraudulent accounts and deactivating 40.4 million accounts linked to fraud. With the rise of AI in app development, Apple processed over 9.1 million app submissions and used AI to identify suspicious behavior, helping to expedite the approval process for legitimate developers. The company emphasized its commitment to user safety, particularly in the Kids category, where it rejected over 5,000 apps for violating safety guidelines.
