Verify any link before you open it. Stop scams in messages, email, chat, apps and browsers. Because you should never wonder if a link is safe. Even careful people can be tricked. Checking every link takes time and effort. Most security apps tell you to protect yourself but leave you guessing. That’s not real protection. MetaCert makes it simple. No switching. No copying. No extra steps. 2 NEW INVENTIONS IN MOBILE SECURITY: 1. Zero Trust Link Verification treats every link as suspicious until proven safe. It can block even brand new scams. 2. System-level integration adds the Link Verifier to your iPhone’s share menu in all your apps with one install. No setup required. Real protection, built-in. After you install, MetaCert is ready right away. Tap to verify any link without leaving the app you are using. Real security means you don’t have to think twice. While other tools scan for known threats or use AI that can be tricked, MetaCert follows one simple rule: Trust no link until it is verified. WE HAVE EXPERIENCE: We invented mobile app security and licensed our patents to top security companies. But that old model cannot stop scams that use new, unreported links. We built something completely different. MetaCert is also the company that killed the phishing problem on Slack for crypto companies and their communities in 2017. Now we want to bring a new level of protection to everyone - across SMS, Discord, Telegram, email and more. Try MetaCert free for 7 days. No charge. Cancel anytime in your iPhone settings.
