Hello, I'm new. I have had a subscription to Kaspersky Anti-Virus on my computer, and I've been wanting to add it to my iPhone. When I downloaded the app on my iPhone, it says it's in Kaspersky Free. It's still associated with my account, but I was just wondering if I'm able to add the Anti-Virus protection to my phone. I read somewhere that iPhones are pretty secure as long as you don't jailbreak them, but I don't think it would hurt to add an extra layer of protection. Do I need to? Does Kaspersky Free provide protection for my phone?

Can you please provide the Kaspersky product version number that you installed from the Apple App Store on your iPhone.

Let's see...it's called Kaspersky: VPN & Antivirus. It says it's version 2.75.0.

@Galgano 

You are currently running the latest Kaspersky iOS App to provide you the best protection for your iPhone, if you are on  a free version please consider to upgrade to the full version.

iPhones are indeed very secure , please see  “Why there’s no antivirus for iOS”

Quote

“Apple iOS is indeed designed to be very secure. iOS apps are executed in their own sandboxes — secure environments that seclude the apps, keeping them away from other apps’ data, not to mention from tampering with the operating system’s files. Under iOS, a wanna-be-malicious app won’t be able to steal or compromise anything; it won’t be permitted outside its own sandbox, where only its own data is stored and processed”
