What it does

Protection that covers the attacks Android users actually face.

Not bloated with features you'll never use. Focused on the threats responsible for the majority of mobile incidents — scam SMS, spyware apps, and phishing links.

SMS scam filter

Flags smishing attempts the moment they arrive — parcel scams, bank impersonation, fake HMRC texts and more. No rules to configure.

App scanner

Continuously monitors installed apps for known spyware, stalkerware, and over-permissioned behaviour. Full scan in under 30 seconds.

Phishing link protection

Checks links in messages, emails and browsers against a live threat database. Warns before you ever reach the page.

Real-time guard

Always-on protection that runs in the background without draining your battery. Typical overhead: under 1% CPU.

Privacy audit

See at a glance which apps can read your SMS, access your contacts, or track your location — with one-tap revoke.

Breach monitoring

Premium plans alert you the moment your phone number or email appears in a known data breach. Includes recovery guidance.

From our users

What people say after a month with Device Protect.

"Caught a parcel-delivery scam text that looked completely legitimate. My mum almost clicked it. I've now installed Device Protect on her phone too."

"The privacy audit was a wake-up call — I had three apps silently tracking my location. Uninstalled them the same day."

"Lightweight, no pushy upsells, does what it says. I've tried Norton and AVG — this one actually feels made for a phone, not shoved over from desktop."

Everything Device Protect does for you.

Built around the real threat vectors Android users face — not a laundry list of features that look good on a spec sheet.

Smishing detection

Machine-learning classifier trained on millions of scam SMS. Catches parcel, banking, HMRC and tech-support scams without blocking legitimate messages from brands you trust.

Full app audit

Scans every installed app against our threat catalogue plus behavioural heuristics. Spots apps that request more permissions than they should.

Always-on protection

A lightweight background service keeps an eye on new installs, suspicious messages and risky URLs. Battery overhead is negligible — under 1% on modern handsets.

Link checker

Paste or long-press any link to check it against our database of known phishing, malware and fraud domains before you visit it.

Scam feed

A live feed of the latest scams being reported in your country. Know what's circulating before it reaches your inbox.

Breach alerts

Continuously monitors public breach databases and alerts you the moment your phone number, email, or login appears. Premium plans only.

Installing on Android

Android requires a small extra step when installing apps outside the Play Store. Here's how.

Tap the download button above

Your browser will save the APK file to your Downloads folder. Tap the notification or open Downloads to continue.

Allow installation from this source

Android will ask for permission to install from your browser. Tap "Settings" → toggle on "Allow from this source" → back out to the installer.

Tap Install

The installer takes about 10 seconds. When it's done, tap "Open" to launch Device Protect.

Run your first scan

Grant the permissions Device Protect asks for — SMS access for smishing detection, storage access for app scanning. We explain exactly why we need each one.

How can we help?

Our support team typically responds within a few hours during UK business hours, and always within 24 hours.

Ticket received

Thanks for reaching out. Someone from our support team will be in touch within 24 hours.

We're a small team who care about mobile security.

Device Protect was founded in 2022 by a group of Android developers and security engineers who were frustrated with antivirus apps that prioritised marketing over protection.

Our mission

Smartphones have become the primary target for scams, identity theft and phishing — yet most mobile security apps are either a watered-down version of a desktop product, or packed with unnecessary features that slow the phone down without addressing the real risks.

We set out to build something different: a focused, lightweight Android app that concentrates on the three attack vectors responsible for the majority of incidents — scam SMS, dodgy apps, and phishing links — and does each of them well.

Since launching in 2023 we've grown to over 220,000 active devices, primarily through word of mouth. We don't run paid ads.

Privacy by design

Device Protect runs almost entirely on-device. The minimum data leaves your phone to do the job.

Fast and light

Under 14MB install size and under 1% CPU in the background — we measure and publish this every release.

Built by humans

A small team of engineers in the UK, answering support emails themselves. No outsourced call centres.

No dark patterns

No auto-renewing trials you forget about, no pop-ups to "upgrade now", no dishonest urgency. Ever.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 April 2026

Device Protect Ltd ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why, and what rights you have.

What we collect

We collect the minimum data needed to provide Device Protect. This includes:

  • Technical diagnostics from the app (crash logs, device model, app version) to fix bugs.
  • Threat telemetry — anonymised hashes of suspicious content flagged by the scanner, used to improve detection.
  • Account details (email, billing information) only if you upgrade to a paid plan.

What we do not collect

Device Protect never reads, stores or transmits the contents of your SMS messages to our servers. Classification happens entirely on-device. We do not collect your contacts, photos, call history, or browsing history.

Who we share data with

We use Stripe for payment processing and Cloudflare for content delivery. We do not sell or rent personal information to any third party.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct and delete any personal data we hold about you. Email privacy@deviceprotect.online and we will respond within 30 days.

Contact

Device Protect Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 14982301. Registered office: 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ.

Terms of Service

Last updated: 22 April 2026

These Terms govern your use of the Device Protect mobile application and website. By installing or using the app you agree to these Terms.

Licence

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Device Protect on any Android device you own or control, subject to these Terms.

Acceptable use

You agree not to reverse-engineer, redistribute, or sub-licence the app. You agree not to use Device Protect to facilitate any unlawful activity.

Paid plans

Premium and Family subscriptions renew monthly unless cancelled. You can cancel any time from within the app. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on first-time purchases.

Warranty and liability

Device Protect is provided "as is". While we take detection quality seriously and invest heavily in our threat catalogue, no security product can guarantee 100% protection. We accept no liability for loss or damage resulting from threats that Device Protect failed to detect, beyond the amount you have paid us in the preceding 12 months.

Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. On termination, your licence to use the app ends and any cached data should be removed.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be heard in the courts of England and Wales.
