RE: Update
Hello,
If your iPhone subscription has not updated after renewal, please note that in some cases it can take up to 24–48 hours for the status to sync. Since it has already been over that time, we recommend refreshing the activation on your device or confirming your renewal status in your Trend Micro account.
You can follow the official steps in this Help Center article to resolve the issue:

We hope this helps. -
RE: Skip Payment Details for retail licenses
Hi there!
I totally get how confusing subscriptions and auto‑renew settings can be, especially when you bought the product from a retail store or third-party reseller.
If you bought Trend Micro from a retail store or a third-party reseller:
- To activate your subscription, you’ll need to sign in to (or create) a Trend Micro account and enter the activation code that came with the box or receipt. During activation, you’ll be asked to add billing details to set up auto‑renew.
Just to reassure you:
- You won’t be charged right away
- Your card is only used when the subscription is about to expire
Do you want to turn off auto‑renew?
No problem — you can do that anytime after activation:
1. Go to https://account.trendmicro.com and sign in
2. Go to Licenses tab
3. Locate your active subscription and click Manage Subscription
4. Select Cancel Subscription / Stop Auto‑Renew
Turning off auto‑renew doesn’t cancel your current protection.
Your subscription will stay active until its expiration date — it just stops future automatic charges.
If anything looks off in your account or you don’t see the options mentioned above, you can visit our Contact Support page for further assistance. -
RE: Wave browser
Hi.
Thanks for reaching out.
Trend Micro may remove Wave Browser because it is commonly classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
While it isn’t always malicious, Wave Browser is known for:
- Installing without clear user consent
- Changing default browser settings
- Displaying intrusive ads or redirecting searches
- Being bundled with other software
To keep your device secure and running smoothly, Trend Micro flags and removes applications that show this type of behavior.
If you intentionally installed Wave Browser and would like to keep it, you can reinstall it — but we recommend using mainstream, trusted browsers for better security and stability. -
RE: Trusted Network
Hi.
Thank you for reaching out.
Even if your home Wi‑Fi is marked as Trusted, the Trend Micro app may still show the “Wi‑Fi Not Secured” popup in certain situations—especially when you open apps that require extra protection (such as banking or shopping apps). Trend Micro performs an additional safety check to ensure your connection stays secure during sensitive activity.
This can also happen if your phone briefly switches between Wi‑Fi bands or if the router’s security settings need updating.
To reduce the popups, please try the following:- Make sure the Trend Micro app is updated
- Refresh your router’s security settings (WPA2 or WPA3 recommended)
- Turn off battery optimization for the Trend Micro app
- Re-add your home network as Trusted
- Restart your device
If the alerts continue, reinstalling the app usually resolves the issue.

To make sure your computer is fully protected, please verify that Trend Micro is successfully installed on your new laptop and that it’s running the latest version.

RE: Notification
You may be seeing that pink dot or pop‑up due to a browser-specific notification (for example, from Chrome or Edge) or a custom alert on your device, rather than an actual warning coming from the Trend Micro software itself.
To help us verify, could you confirm where the pink notification appears—through the Trend Micro Mobile Security app, or from the Trend Micro system tray icon on Windows? -
RE: Web Guard problems with WiFi
Hi,
Trend Micro Mobile Security checks your Wi‑Fi network for the following:- Weak Wi‑Fi encryption (ex: WEP or no password)
- Weak router password
- Public/unknown network risks
- Unsecure router settings (ex: open ports or outdated firmware)
Here are some tips on how to fix it:- Make sure you use WPA3 or WPA2 encryption
- Change your Wi-Fi password to a strong one
- Update your router firmware
- Restart your router
- Rescan the Wi-Fi using Trend Micro Mobile Security

RE: Web Guard problems with WiFi
Hi,
Thanks for pointing that out — you're correct. If everything works only when Web Guard is off, it usually means there’s another VPN, DNS filter, or network profile on the device causing the conflict, not the Block Trackers setting itself.On iOS/iPadOS, Web Guard works through a local VPN. If another VPN app, DNS filtering tool, or features like iCloud Private Relay are active at the same time, they can interfere with Web Guard and lead to slow or unstable connections.
