What this question tests

Cross company product design requiring a clear scope decision and understanding of a real, known threat model.

How to approach it

  1. Clarify the ambiguity: this is likely misattributed, but interpret it as designing a Meta product to help make using Apple devices safer, for example a security focused feature for Meta apps running on iOS.
  2. Identify the real threat model: phishing links, account takeover attempts, and scam messages are the dominant safety risks for users on any device, including Apple's.
  3. Segment users: less tech savvy users most vulnerable to phishing and scams versus power users who mainly want privacy controls.
  4. Prioritize phishing and scam protection, since it's the highest frequency, highest harm risk across device types.
  5. Propose in app link scanning before opening external links from messages, plus a simplified security checkup prompting weak passwords or unrecognized login alerts.
  6. Define success as reduction in reported account takeovers and phishing related support tickets among affected users.
