Best iPhone Antivirus Apps

This list of the best iphone antivirus applications offers options for blocking, scanning and protecting your iOS device from online threats, such as scam websites, unsecure public Wi-Fi networks, data-stealing apps, web trackers and more.

Apple has designed its operating system (OS) that runs on iPhones and iPads to be among the most secure mainstream OSes available. This is in part due to its strict app vetting process, which requires developers to provide security details on their apps before they’re allowed to run on Apple devices. Additionally, its hardware design lets each app be run in a sandboxed setting which blocks it from accessing other apps or files on the device. This is partly because of the relatively low demand for mobile malware from cyber criminals, who would rather focus on Android smartphones (which have 71% of the market share) or desktop computers running Windows (10%).
