So what do people recommend for malware detection (at whatever degree of efficacy) on Androids these days?
Yes I know what search engines are, but I'd appreciate curated / personal recommendations, please.
- kramerger 4y agoNothing. Anyone recommending antivirus apps for your android is clueless and/or after your money.
- lisasays 4y agoOkay, I'm clueless. Can you condescend to explain why this is the case, and/or provide something informative to read about the subjective? BTW I really am clueless, because I've avoided owning any kind of smartphone until now.
- chaxor 4y agoA non answer / misdirection here may be to not go for tacking on malware detection to an already malware prone / hostile operating system, and rather start in a better position by using something like grapheneos. Having more control over what happens on the system is important to get malware in the first place. I imagine even more secure OSes will be coming out soon based on Rust, etc but the last time I checked GrapheneOS was a decent choice.
