Does your iPhone/iPad need antivirus software?

No system is completely secure. But does that mean your iPhone or iPad needs an antivirus app? No. In this video, I explain why that's the case and how you can still protect your iOS device. A virus scanner would have to be able to scan your entire phone for viruses, meaning all apps, your personal data, system areas, etc. That's completely impossible. Apple describes its security concepts for iOS devices in the "iOS Security Guide." The "App Security" section states that every app runs in a sandbox, i.e., a restricted environment, and cannot access other apps or the system. https://www.apple.com/business/docs/i... Antivirus software therefore cannot work on iOS at all. This is why Apple removed all antivirus programs from the App Store two years ago. https://9to5mac.com/2015/03/19/apple-... But as I said: nothing is completely secure. Nevertheless, you can improve your iPhone's security yourself. Here are two simple tips... Of course, there are also security vulnerabilities on iOS. Apple fixes these vulnerabilities through software updates. So, if you regularly install these software updates, you also increase security. So, when a new software update comes out, make a backup and install it immediately. Another tip: please do not hack your phone with a so-called "jailbreak." This removes precisely these security features (keyword: sandbox), so that apps are no longer restricted and can cause damage. This also allows dubious apps that have not been reviewed by Apple to get onto your iPhone. If you then get a virus, it's your own fault. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jailbre...) Regards, Björn
