Not sure about a link, a text or an email? AVO helps you check it in seconds, see how well your iPhone is set up, and know when your email shows up in a data breach. SECURITY CHECKUP AND SCORE A 30-second checkup looks at your iPhone's own settings: iOS updates, passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, Wi-Fi and more. You get a Security Score from 0 to 100 and clear, step-by-step guides for anything worth fixing. AVO only reads your settings; iOS lets you make the changes yourself, and AVO shows you exactly where. LINK CHECKER AND QR SCANNER Paste a link, scan a QR code or share a link from Safari or Messages. AVO checks it against Google Web Risk and look-alike tricks, and tells you in plain words whether it looks safe, suspicious or harmful before you open it. AI SCAM CHECKER Got a message about a parcel, a bank or a prize? Paste it in and AVO's AI looks for the usual scam signs, such as false urgency, payment requests and fake links, and explains what it found. You choose what to check, and messages are not stored. EMAIL BREACH CHECK AND MONITORING See if your email address appears in known data breaches, which kinds of data were exposed, and what to do next. With Email Monitoring, AVO checks up to 4 addresses every day and alerts you when a new breach includes one of them. Breach data from Have I Been Pwned. WEB SHIELD A DNS filter that blocks known phishing, scam and tracking sites in every app and browser, and shows how many requests it filtered each day. A Family filter also blocks adult sites. Web Shield only sees the names of the sites your iPhone looks up, never what you read or type, and it doesn't change your location or IP address. WI-FI CHECK See whether the network you're on is password protected, with tips for staying careful on public Wi-Fi. FREE AND AVO PRO The Security Checkup, fix guides and Wi-Fi Check are free, and you can try a link check, a scam check and an email breach check for free. AVO Pro adds Web Shield, the Family filter, Email Monitoring, the weekly report and unlimited checks. AVO Pro is available as a yearly subscription (with a free trial where offered), a monthly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.
