The TotalAV iOS® app does not run an Antivirus.

Instead it provides a handful of tools that help in maintaining the health of your iPhone or iPad.

Due to Apple®'s tight stringent ecosystem, it is virtually impossible for programs and scripts to execute on iOS® unless they have been approved to work by Apple® themselves. They thoroughly check and ensure nothing malicious is occurring in apps during this process.

More information

Most users of iOS® devices do not need to worry about their iPhone or iPad getting a virus.

The only real risk to iPhones and iPads is if the device is Jailbroken. By jailbreaking an iOS® device, a user is injecting code that circumvents the need for apps to be installed through the iOS® App Store. Thus apps from any source can be installed, and thus there is a risk of viruses.

Real-Time Protection runs in the background of your Android device and will scan any new activity on your device. You will then be notified if a file or app is harmful or malicious.
