  • Includes Kids Safe Browsing and Photo Vault with App Lock for data protection
  • Relies on Accessibility Permission for Safe Browsing and uses VPNService, which may raise privacy and security concerns for some users

Comments on Privacy Defender - Security for Android

★★★★☆ Nobody · May 27, 2025
Edit: App was recently updated! Everything seems to function better now except for the Wi-Fi scan. It's still telling me I'm connected to TKIP when I'm connected to WPA2. This used to be a decent security app. Now it only scans a fraction of the apps that I have installed. The web feature no longer detects malicious websites, and the Wi-Fi scanner is constantly telling me that I am connected to Tkip when I'm clearly connected to Wpa2. Maybe it's because this app hasn't been updated in near a year?
★★★★★ Houston Yale · Feb 11, 2026
A great app that does anti-spyware, browser safety, privacy protection, and network security all-in-one.

Privacy Defender is a great app that keeps my smartphone safe.
★☆☆☆☆ Sandy Taggart · Mar 31, 2025
Very useless app. Immediately flagged 1 suspicious app, but would t show until I paid for a subscription. Immediately uninstalling.
★☆☆☆☆ Graig List · Aug 24, 2025
Dangerously Flawed Scanner! This app's "Unverified Apps" scanner is misleading. It incorrectly flags safe, essential system apps from Google and Samsung as risks, simply because they were pre-installed. Recommending their removal is irresponsible and could break your phone's functionality. The scanner creates a false sense of alarm by misidentifying legitimate software. And there's no way understand how the app got the resulta, and I have the paid version!
★☆☆☆☆ Unavailable Not · Apr 13, 2025
App doesn't scan all apps. I have a subscription and is not letting me access the app I've uninstalled and install back, and it doesn't update!!!
★★☆☆☆ One Hunnerd · Jan 16, 2026
I rated ths app much higher but like one person said u pretty much can't trust ANYTHING according to ths app. Everything is flagged as malicious. It had me so paranoid I almost flagged myself. don't understand why techs want to keep updating wat already works! Its 2026 there has 2 be a way of enhancing an app w/o destroying all its good features - I think u people tinker way too much. I KNO! Instead having to keep updating and upsetting wat is workn- make part 2 like they do in the movies!
