Before you start
Hifazat Guard runs on Android and iOS phones. You do not need an account to start using the app. Every security check works with a free daily allowance, and you can sign in later for unlimited checks.
Step 1: Install the app
Download Hifazat Guard from the download section on the home page and open it. On first launch the app asks a few short questions before dropping you on the Home screen.
Step 2: Choose your language
Pick English or Urdu. The whole app, from menus and results to warnings and the daily security tips, follows your choice. You can switch language at any time later in Settings.
Step 3: Accept the terms
Review and accept the privacy policy and terms of use. Hifazat states that it does not sell user data and does not use advertising in the product.
Step 4: Walk through the optional permissions
The app asks for a small number of permissions, each explained on screen before it is requested. These let features like always-on protection, SMS scanning and call screening do their job. Every permission is optional at this stage. You can skip any of them and grant it later from the feature that needs it.
Step 5: Learn the Home screen
The Home screen is your base: it shows your protection status at the top, the security checks below it, and a daily security tip in English or Urdu. From here you can reach every other part of the app: scans, Kids Mode, Focus Mode, family and settings.
About the daily free checks
Without an account you get a daily allowance of free security checks. When the allowance runs out, checks resume the next day, or you can sign in for unlimited checks at any time.
