Why ScamGuard: Link Checker exists
Most dangerous links do not look dangerous at first glance. ScamGuard is built for the moment when a URL, QR code, or browser handoff feels just suspicious enough that you want a second look first.
Check links before opening
Paste a URL from SMS, email, chat, or social media and get a clear safety read before you tap through.
Scan QR codes safely
Use the camera only when you choose to scan a QR code, then review the discovered link before opening it.
Use Android quick checks
Set ScamGuard as part of your Android link flow to inspect links locally before handing them to a browser.
See AI-assisted signals
A bundled AI baseline and signed model updates help surface suspicious patterns, with full details in AI Mode.
Follow signed safety policy
Safety lists and domain rules are loaded through signed policy updates so checks can improve over time.
Stay in control
History, reminders, announcements, trusted domains, and diagnostics are managed from app settings.
