About ScanLinks APK

Description

ScanLinks is an Android app that allows you to block unsafe and dangerous links on your Android device. It protects you from websites that are designed to phish sensitive information like personal and financial details, host malware, show a lot of spam or try to install a suspicious application on your device.

When you click on a link within another app, ScanLinks will first analyse the link to determine whether it is safe to view or not. If the link does not lead to a safe website, then ScanLinks will block the URL and show a warning dialog, with an option to view the website regardless and to view the scan report.

If the website is safe to view, ScanLinks will automatically open the link in the web browser of your choice.

ScanLinks is easy to set-up. After installing the app, open the app & select the web browser you want to open websites in (if you don't choose one, Chrome is selected as the default browser to open websites in), select the blocking setting (block w/ dialog, block w/o dialog, or no blocking) and save the settings. When you click on a link, your device will show a dialog to select an app to handle the link, select 'ScanLinks' and click on 'Always' so ScanLinks can automatically handle any intent to open an URL from an external app. That's it!

PS: If your device does not show you a dialog box to handle the link, you can go to Default Apps settings on your phone and set 'ScanLinks' as the default browser app. This will make sure all intents to handle an URL is passed to ScanLinks properly.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
