Looking for yesterday to download an application from AppStore, I noticed that many Romanians think they need antivirus for iPhone, the search being in the top of the store.Although there are no viruses for iPhone, some were probably implemented in the idea that they should install an antivirus for iPhone, although there are not applications of this kind..
Of course, if you are looking for Antivirus applications for iPhone you will find some results, but those that are paid, are just some tepe and nothing more.None of the iPhone antivirus applications fulfill their functions as a computer antivirus program does.
There is no iPhone antiviruses because the way Apple has thought of the iOS operating system does not allow such a software to be created.There is malware for iPhone that exploit some operating system vulnerabilities, but so-called antivirus applications for iPhone does not protect you from malware in any way or another.
Antivirus for iPhone - do you need it?
Various antivirus companies, including from Romania, have published in the AppStore Antivirus applications for iPhone, but they only make various unnecessary checks for the "security" of the terminals.Of course, some of them were withdrawn at one point by Apple because they generated confusion, but others returned in the meantime.
Although for Android, for example, it is necessary to install antivirus applications due to security issues, for iPhone this does not apply.It has never been necessary nor this is in the near future necessary to install antivirus applications for iPhone, and anyone who says you have to do this.
That being said, do not be fooled by so-called antivirus applications for iPhone because you do not need them since there are no iPhone viruses and they will probably not exist too soon.
