Secure Scan

SecureScan tells you whether a link is dangerous before you open it. A message arrives with a link. You get about a second to decide. SecureScan makes that second count. HOW IT WORKS Paste a link, scan a QR code, or share a link to SecureScan from any app. You get one clear answer — Safe, Low, Medium, High or Critical — and a plain-English reason for it. Most checks finish on your device, against a list of known-malicious addresses that ships with the app and refreshes in the background. Only links that cannot be settled on your device are sent for a cloud lookup, where around 90 security vendors weigh in through VirusTotal. WHAT YOU GET • Paste or type any link and check it in seconds • Scan QR codes with the camera — posters, menus, parking meters and parcels are a favourite trick • Share a link to SecureScan straight from Messages, Mail or any other app • A Safari content blocker that stops known-malicious sites before the page loads • Open a cleared link inside SecureScan, so you never lose track of the link you just checked • A scan history, so you can look back at what you checked and what it said FAMILY: PROTECT YOUR CHILD'S PHONE Link your child's phone in a minute with a QR code or a 6-digit code. Your child sees exactly what you can and cannot see before linking. • Block scam, malware and adult websites on your child's whole phone, and force SafeSearch and YouTube Restricted Mode • Lock your child's phone now, or set bedtime and school times • Choose which apps to limit, with Apple's Screen Time on iPhone • See where your child's phone is, only if you turn location on; only the last 24 hours are kept • A parental PIN, and an alert if protection is switched off • You never see messages, photos, the screen, the camera or full web addresses HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CANNOT DO No link checker catches everything, and we would rather say so plainly. When SecureScan cannot reach a confident answer it says "unknown" instead of guessing. Unknown means unknown — treat that link the way you would treat a stranger. PRIVACY You can use SecureScan without an account. An account is optional: it keeps your history on all your devices and is needed for Family. It holds only your email and a display name, signs you in with a passkey and Face ID, and you can delete it in Settings at any time. The links we check are never stored against your identity; only your own synced history is, and only when you are signed in. If you leave the optional "Help improve SecureScan" setting switched on, the app sends anonymous counters: which check produced the answer, what the answer was, and how long it took. The address you checked is never included. You can switch it off in Settings at any time.
