Overview
- CEO Aravind Srinivas said on X that the Comet app currently listed on iOS is fake, spam, and not from Perplexity.
- iPhone users are urged to avoid downloading any Comet‑branded iOS app until the company announces pre‑registration or availability.
- Reported lookalikes include “Comet – Ai Agent Browser” and “Cornet AI,” which mimics Comet’s branding and claims Perplexity affiliation.
- Users who installed a suspicious app should delete it, review permissions, watch for unusual activity, and change passwords for recently used accounts.
- Demand for an iOS release has intensified following Comet’s broader Android launch and general availability for free, Pro, and Max users.
