Block, check and detect. Some honest 'not really's here.

## Checked answers

- [Is there a website that can check if a link is safe?](https://isthereathing.com/a-website-that-can-check-if-a-link-is-safe/) (yes; updated 2026-10-02): Yes: VirusTotal, Google's Safe Browsing site status and URLVoid all check a web address. VirusTotal says it only aggregates other vendors' verdicts and makes none of its own, so a clean result is no guarantee.

- [Is there an app that blocks spam calls?](https://isthereathing.com/an-app-that-blocks-spam-calls/) (yes; updated 2026-10-02): Yes: Google's Phone app, iPhone settings, Truecaller, Hiya and some UK networks all flag or block spam calls. Google itself says not all spam calls and robocalls can be detected. Markdown: https://isthereathing.com/an-app-that-blocks-spam-calls.md
- [Is there an app that can detect hidden cameras?](https://isthereathing.com/an-app-that-can-detect-hidden-cameras/) (partly; updated 2026-10-02): Partly. Fing's network scan can only find hidden cameras connected to the same network you scan. Lens finders and RF detectors cover cameras on other networks or offline, but they are separate gadgets.
