I Phones and Virus Protection

[leon]

Hi guys just a quick question please.

Do you need Virus Protection on a I Phone, and if so how dose one go about installing it to the phone.:shrug:

Thanks in advance.

Leon:thumbsup:

Hi Leon,

The short answer is no, you don’t need an antivirus, but you should:
- Not jailbrake the phone.
- Ensure the phone’s operating system iOS is up to date and latest version.
- Ensure the installed apps are up to date.
- Be mindful what apps you install on the phone. Use apps only from trusted vendors.

Here are some good guidelines with more detail: https://www.cyber.gov.au/protect-yourself/securing-your-devices/how-secure-your-device/secure-your-mobile-phone

Hope above is helpful.

PS: If you don’t know what jailbrake is, then you probably don’t have it and don’t have to worry about it :)

No but make sure you update it when necessary don't click on external links if you get a message that purports to be the tax/mygov/etc as they are not legit,
and you are good

Many thanks indeed, I am very lean when it comes to app's and really don't add any to the phone other than the ones i need, and it is updated when requested, so thank you.
