About this app

ScanLens helps you check suspicious links, QR codes, SMS, email and chat messages before you open them.

Scammers often hide phishing links inside delivery texts, bank alerts, tax refund messages, subscription warnings and fake login pages. ScanLens gives you a clear safety report so you can decide what to do next.

Check suspicious links

Use ScanLens as a phishing link checker and scam URL scanner:

• Check if a link looks suspicious
• Detect phishing and scam website signals
• Review redirects and final destinations
• Scan QR codes
• Extract links from images or screenshots
• Get a clear SAFE, SUSPICIOUS or DANGEROUS verdict

Scan suspicious messages

Paste the full SMS, email or chat message for better scam detection. ScanLens can look for warning signs such as:

• Fake parcel delivery fees
• Bank security alerts
• Tax refund scams
• Subscription payment scams
• Account verification scams
• Suspicious links hidden inside messages
• Urgent wording and pressure tactics

For best results, paste the full message, not only the link. Sender text, wording and context can help ScanLens produce a clearer report.

Scam Guard Lite

ScanLens can help review link notifications from SMS and chat apps. When a suspicious link pattern appears in a message notification, ScanLens can save it to Guard Inbox so you can review it before opening the link.

You stay in control. ScanLens does not send messages automatically without your action.

Clear safety reports

Each scan can include:

• Verdict: SAFE, SUSPICIOUS or DANGEROUS
• Risk level
• Main warning signs
• Human-friendly explanation
• Suggested next steps
• Technical details for advanced users

Earn extra scans

Start scanning quickly without creating an account. You can earn reward points from completed scans and use credits when you need another scan.

Designed for everyday protection

ScanLens is useful for checking:

• Suspicious SMS links
• Fake delivery messages
• Banking and payment scam links
• Government or tax refund messages
• QR code scams
• Email phishing links
• Chat messages with risky links
• Unknown URLs before you tap

Privacy-conscious scanning

ScanLens does not require an account for basic scanning. Automated analysis is used to generate safety reports. Some technical data may be processed to provide scanning, app integrity, analytics, crash reporting, ads, rewards or premium features.

See our Privacy Policy, Terms and Training & Data Use pages for details.

Important

ScanLens provides best-effort automated security analysis. No scanner can guarantee that every link or message is safe or dangerous. Be careful with unknown links, payment pages, login forms and messages asking for urgent action.
