About this app

Our powerful app scans for robocallers and spammers, and aggressively detects fake texts, phishy links, malicious sites, and annoying ad trackers. • Award-winning technology that is proven to reduce scams, robocalls, phishing attempts, tracking ads and unintentional clicks to malicious sites containing malware, spyware, ransomware, and other mobile threats that could be missed by your iPhone or iPad. • 4 million threats detected or blocked by this app every day. Block phishing sites, online scams, and other malicious sites that may contain malware, spyware, and ransomware. The current app is optimized for iPhones, but iPad users can still take advantage of Web Protection and Ad Blocking for a cleaner Internet experience while browsing with Safari. Browse the Internet safer and cleaner with the Safari browser while reducing the risk of accidentally visiting a fraudulent site. Forward fraudulent texts to a junk folder sent from a list of known scammers or containing phishing links. Get caller ID warnings or block incoming calls from known and suspected scammers, including “spoofing” calls that make their number appear like yours. Fortunately, the risk of getting malware on an iOS device is low and Apple has a stringent review process regarding app admission into Malwarebytes Store. For iPad users, we recommend adding our free Safari browser extension. • No. Devices running iOS version 14or higher with an active Internet connection. Ignore fraudulent calls with Call Protection. Ignore suspicious texts and send them to a junk tab in your Messages app. Answer the calls that matter and skip the ones that don’t. Block intrusive ads in Safari with Ad Blocking. Stop ad trackers from watching your behavior online and sending you targeted advertising. Why doesn’t this app for iOS include a malware scanner? • It is not possible for an iOS app to scan for malware. Browse the Internet with fewer distractions.
