The internet is lava now โ scam links, shady trackers, and pages that follow you everywhere. Lava Security blocks known-bad domains right on your iPhone. Turn it on, pick a protection level, and get back to using your phone. No account. No signup. Nothing routed through us. How it works: Before apps and websites connect, Lava checks domain names on this phone โ matching them against curated blocklists for phishing, scams, malware, and trackers. Everything happens locally, right on your device. Filters, made simple: - Pick Core, Balanced, or Extra depending on how much you want blocked - Freely choose from more curated blocklists โ ads, trackers, adult content, gambling, and more - Fine-tune what's allowed or blocked, domain by domain - Auto-switch filters with iOS Focus and Automation (Sleep, Work, and more) โ no taps needed See what Lava's doing: Open Activity to see what's been blocked and check Domain History for recent lookups. Clear it whenever you want โ it's kept on this phone for 7 days and nowhere else. If you send a bug report, only aggregate counts go with it โ never your actual domain history. Your privacy, by design: Domain filtering happens on your iPhone, not on our servers. Lava Security LLC doesn't receive a feed of the sites you visit. DNS queries go to whichever resolver you choose โ your device's default, or an encrypted option like Cloudflare or Quad9 โ never through Lava. Lava's core protection is free, keeping your everyday browsing safe. Need more filters or custom blocklists? Lava Security Plus is there when you want it. Let's give the weird web some simple protection. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Lava Security at 18.0 against PicEase's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
