Gmail now warns iOS users about suspicious links, in fight against phishing threats

On Apple iPhones, for instance, there is a way to view a URL before you click (press and hold a link to open a window that displays a link’s URL) but it’s a palarver compared to simply hovering your mouse over a link. And even then, the limitations of a mobile device’s screen size may mean that you can’t see the *full* URL, or the use of a URL redirection service might disguise the link’s true destination.

So I, for one, am pleased to see Google do its bit to make the internet that little bit safer.

Google announced last week that it is bringing anti-phishing security checks to its Gmail app for iOS, displaying a warning when a user clicks on a suspicious link in a Gmail message on their iPhone or iPad.
