Mobile phone anti virus

Just for anyone pondering antivirus options for mobile phones. Please take this advice from me.

 

One of the single best things you can do for security is to keep your mobile phone software as up to date as possible. The updates aren't just for better features, but also contain critical security patches. Having antivirus on a phone is pointless, if you've not patched the gaping hole in the software, which the antivirus wouldn't even pick up.

 

If you've got an iPhone, don't waste your time or money on Antivirus apps. Keeping your iPhone up to date is all you need to do.

That's what I heard but wasn't sure.

I'm currently using I phone 5

If you are concerned about security and privacy, don't use an Android phone :whistling: - and don't Jailbreak your iOS device.
