2Guard brings practical privacy tools together on iPhone. Block ads, trackers, and unsafe content in Safari with 2Guard's filter rules. Browse in a fresh Private Browser session that discards local website data when you leave. Check an email address or password against known breach data. Keep copies of selected photos and videos in Private Media, stored locally behind a PIN. Ask the AI Assistant for short, practical answers, with buttons that open the right feature. Manual leak checks are free. Premium adds regular checks of saved email addresses, run when you open or return to 2Guard, at most once every 24 hours. Safari blockers, Private Browser, and Private Media require Premium. Free AI messages have a daily limit; local FAQ answers remain available. 2Guard is not a VPN, antivirus, password manager, or device scanner. Blocking works in Safari only, not in every app. Private Browser is not anonymous: websites and network providers may still see your traffic. Imported originals stay in Photos until you delete them yourself.
