It’s vacation time! Besides relaxing and soaking up the sun (or bundling up if you’re on the flip side of the globe), we released a few Surfshark updates. Let’s dive in.

We have a new tool — Alternative Number!
We recently announced Alternative ID, a product that generates an online name, email, and address. It’s included in all Surfshark subscriptions free of charge, and now it’s getting a huge update — Alternative Number.
This phone number protection add-on generates a virtual phone number to mask your real one from online threats. Use it anytime you need to give out your number but want to keep it spam-free.
Alternative Number is sold separately from Alternative ID and can be used exclusively to receive calls and messages. Only USA numbers are available at the moment.
Alternative ID now offers auto-fill
We know manually filling out forms is not an enjoyable process, so we are excited to introduce a new Alternative ID auto-fill function.
For those using our Chrome extension, activating this feature is very straightforward: look for the clickable Surfshark logo icon in the form entry field and click it!
We released a native Windows ARM app
We’ve launched a new app for ARM-based computers, including devices like Microsoft Surface laptops, Samsung Galaxy Books, and more.
Whether you own one of these devices or are operating a virtual machine on your macOS, you can now enjoy the native performance of Surfshark directly on your device.
Alert now monitors even more data
We’ve enhanced our data leak detection tool, Alert, to now include monitoring for malware attacks. This means that if your email address is compromised due to malware on your device, Alert will promptly notify you.
We partnered with Shark Trust
Our commitment to environmental causes goes beyond the waves. We actively participate in global initiatives and local engagements to support a sustainable future.
This July, for Shark Awareness Day, we partnered with the Shark Trust for the second year in a row. We aim to express our gratitude to these magnificent creatures and highlight their crucial role in our marine ecosystems.

That’s it for this month
