Step by Step
The Scan Process
Follow these steps to scan any APK file for security threats

Once you select an APK, MobInspect's 3-layer AI detection engine begins analyzing:
- Machine Learning: Pattern recognition using neural networks
- Rule-Based: Known malware signature matching
- Heuristic: Behavioral analysis for unknown threats
Background Scanning: Minimize the app while scanning - you'll
get a notification when complete!
