Secure all your devices with Avira
There are a few reasons why you can never find an antivirus app for your iPhone on the App Store. Because Apple checks all the apps on the store for malware and doesn’t allow you to download apps from anywhere else, Apple says iPhone doesn’t need antivirus protection. On top of that, virus protection on iPhones wouldn’t work in the first place because of what is known as sandboxing — a security measure from Apple that ensures that each app runs in its own protected environment. This prevents apps from accessing other apps’ or system data — which an antivirus app would need to do to detect hidden malware there. Nevertheless, iPhone users can still strengthen their digital security on their iOS device thanks to Avira Mobile Security for iPhone, which includes many protection features for various security areas.
Whether on the train, in public places, or in hotels and cafés — public Wi-Fi hotspots are now widespread and of course extremely useful for saving your mobile data allowance when on the go. Free access to the internet is increasingly being used not only for chatting and emailing but also for online shopping and banking. While this is all great, public Wi-Fi hotspots are often poorly protected or totally unsecured — and can be a gateway for cybercriminals who are on the same network and want to intercept your information. That’s why the free Avira Mobile Security app for iPhones includes a VPN to encrypt your data traffic on public Wi-Fi hotspots and protect everything you send and receive from falling into unscrupulous hands. In addition, you can hide your location and surf anonymously thanks to the VPN.
Another way cybercriminals try to gain access to your log in details for your online accounts or credit card info is by using phishing sites that impersonate banking websites or online shops. These websites look like the real deal, but they’re actually fake — and steal your information as soon as you enter your username and password. That’s why the premium version of Avira Mobile Security Pro comes with powerful web protection to block phishing and other malicious websites automatically.
In addition to web protection, the premium version of Avira Mobile Security Pro for iPhone also includes a breach monitor. It checks to see if your email address has been exposed through a data leak and notifies you if it has. This way, you can leap into action and, to be on the safe side, change the password of the user account in question. If you use the same email and password combination for other accounts, you should also change them to prevent cybercriminals from logging in to those accounts too. And to help you create ultra-strong, unique passwords for your online accounts, Avira Password Manager, which is also available as a standalone iOS app, is included.
Download the Avira Mobile Security app for iOS for free and enjoy many practical features for increased digital security, privacy, and performance:
After downloading the free Avira Mobile Security app, you can upgrade and unlock additional functions at any time. With our premium version, Avira Mobile Security Pro, you can also enjoy our web protection feature for safer online shopping and banking. In addition, thanks to the breach monitor, you’ll be alerted if your email address has been leaked online. If you also want to enjoy a VPN with no data caps and our premium password manager on your iPhone, upgrade to Avira Prime Mobile — our all-in-one app with all premium features.
But if you’re only interested in a VPN that offers unlimited secured surfing, we recommend going for our Avira Phantom VPN Pro app.
You won’t find any antivirus apps in the App Store. That’s because Apple carefully scans and signs all the apps there for malware. Code signing blocks unauthorized apps from running on iPhones, preventing malware from getting onto devices. In addition, all third-party apps on iOS run in isolated areas separate from the system — something that’s referred to as sandboxing. Sandboxing prevents third-party iOS apps from making changes to devices or accessing other apps’ data. An antivirus app wouldn’t work on iPhones because it wouldn’t be able to analyze other apps’ activities inside the sandbox. That said, users can enhance the online security of their iPhones using an app like Avira Mobile Security for iOS as it includes various protection features for other security-related areas.
You can strengthen the security of your iPhone by installing an app with a range of protection features like Avira Mobile Security for iOS.

The anti-theft tools will help you find your device if it ever gets lost or stolen, and the device scanner will show you all the devices connected to your home network. In addition to the free app’s many other features, the premium version also includes web protection for safer browsing and identity protection that checks your email account for security breaches.
Avira Mobile Security for iOS offers various protection, online privacy, and optimization features for iPhone and iPad.

The premium version also offers web protection to block harmful and phishing websites, as well as identity protection that notifies you in case of a data leak.
