Deepfake Instagram Video Spotted with MetaCert Link Checker (Zero Trust iPhone Security)

Watch how MetaCert’s Link Checker is used to evaluate a suspicious Instagram video that turns out to be a deepfake.

This video shows how MetaCert’s Link Checker helps our customers on iPhone check links directly inside Instagram. In this example, a video features what looks like a celebrity endorsement. When the link behind the video is checked using MetaCert, it returns a grey shield.

Instagram account classification is still in the early stages and will take time to scale. Until then, the grey shield gives you a clear signal to pause, double check, and stay alert before engaging.

The MetaCert Link Checker appears inside the native link menu on iPhone. You can check links directly from Instagram, Safari, WhatsApp, Messages, or any other app without switching, copying, or pasting. With just two taps, you can see whether a link is legitimate, unverified, or dangerous before you open it.

MetaCert uses a new kind of protection that doesn’t rely on outdated reputation scores or delayed threat detection. It applies a Zero Trust model to links, treating every link as untrusted until verified. Each shield is a real time classification based on direct evaluation. This gives you instant binary signals so you can decide what to trust without guessing. Instead of reacting after a scam or cyberattack, MetaCert gives you the clarity to avoid one.

🟢 Green Shield
Like a green traffic light. The link has been verified as legitimate. It’s not impersonating a trusted brand, person or organisation. You can proceed with confidence.

⚪️ Grey Shield
Like a flashing amber light. The link hasn’t been verified. That doesn’t mean it’s safe or dangerous. It means pause, double check, and stay alert. This is where MetaCert’s protection works hardest, preventing trust from being triggered too soon.

🔴 Red Shield
Like a red light or roadblock. The link has been confirmed as phishing. MetaCert blocks access to protect you before harm can happen.

Phishing is the impersonation of trusted people or organisations to deceive others into taking harmful actions, such as opening fake websites, entering sensitive information, downloading malware, or sending money. It’s the most common and effective online threat because the messages and websites often look exactly like the real thing. Criminals don’t exploit human vulnerabilities. They exploit the inherent weaknesses of today’s security solutions for phishing.
