Introducing Micro Guard™ - the advanced microphone protection for your Android™ device. With a single click, activate powerful microphone protection and prevent any hacker, spy, or spyware from listening in on your conversations.

Prevent spying
Not only millions of users but also the former FBI chief tape over the webcam and microphones of their devices to take this precaution.

With good reason: Everything and everybody is spied on! Of course, we had known this since June 2013 when whistle-blower Snowden revealed the first NSA documents. Since then, increasingly threatening details have been constantly uncovered. But not only have hackers found solutions to misuse the integrated microphones of mobile devices without a warning signal to the user, but spyware is also highly dangerous because it specifically targets control of the built-in microphone to listen to the users.

Hear nothing – For those who should not
Our Micro Blocker feature effectively blocks all apps and processes that try to access your device's microphone, ensuring complete privacy and security. The intelligent Deep Detective™ feature goes even further by detecting previously unknown attacks and proactively restricting any possibility of surveillance.

Deep Detective™: A smart invention against (un)known threats
Deep Detective™ Live, our optional anti-spyware scanner, detects various fraudulent elements with thousands of attack signatures. In addition, its advanced heuristic methods make it a must-have for those concerned about microphone misuse. This feature is available through a subscription.

Combine Micro Guard™ with our Camera Guard™ app to protect your device's microphone and camera. Micro Guard™ also works seamlessly with other existing security solutions.
The free edition of Micro Guard™ includes features such as a microphone blocker, Deep Detective™ Lite, a logfile protocol, passcode protection, a Widget, dark mode, and a list of all apps with microphone access.

Features "Free Edition":
+ Microphone blocker
+ Deep Detective™ Lite
+ Deep Detective™ Live: Anti-Spyware Scanner (subscription)
+ List of all Apps with microphone access

User reviews

Easy to use and effec tive. I'm not sure what other experiencer's criticisms are about. UPDATE , 2024: ' .. not sure1 what's happened with the company, but the app highlights that there's a disco<nnection somewhere 🤔, cause the app used to work.

Why would I allow them to record. My audio if I want a microphone blocker. Not going to happen. Ridiculous

Mary Webber, 2024-08-19

Had this for years and always the same on every phone! Switches itself off to unprotected every 2 weeks. Also, it seeks to "record", additional to requested permissions. I believe the app deactivates my extra onboard mic blocking app, where that app remains active in the absence of Micro Guard (BTW Also, Norton Apps appear to deactivate microphone blocking apps). However, this is now totally uninstalled and held suspect by me.
