Android smartphones without a shadow of a doubt do play an essential part in our lives. They help you connect to the whole world through the internet in a blink of an eye. Moreover, they allow you to perform numerous tasks: web surfing, video streaming, online banking, etc.

On the other hand, these smartphones have become honeypots for hackers and other cyber goons. Therefore, you have no option left apart from using Android security apps to keep your mobile phones secure as much as possible.

However, different mobile security risks like data leakage, social engineering, and others are increasing at an alarming rate. Therefore, you must use the best Android VPN apps alongside the below mentioned Android privacy apps to improve your smartphones’ productivity and safety to new heights.

5 Best Security Apps for Android

There are different security apps available on the Google Play Store that you can use to enhance your mobile phone’s protection to a new plane. But, not all the apps provide desired privacy features to Android users.

We have come up with five (5) best Android security apps for your smartphone for your ease, and these are:

AVG Antivirus & Mobile Security   

AVG is one of the most notable names in the anti-virus and Windows PC security business. However, the company has also made a reputation among smartphone users by developing an exclusive Android security app.

What makes AVG different from the other competitors is its wide range of security and privacy features that help you secure Android smartphones next level. Once you installed its dedicated app on your mobile phone, you can enable its VPN protection feature.

This way, you can keep your connection protected from hackers, snoopers, and other cybercriminals. Likewise, a built-in Wi-Fi security scan feature scans your network and identifies different issues related to your Wi-Fi, router, encryption, and connection. Once the said action completes, the app informs you if your connected network is safe or not.

Aside from VPN and Wi-Fi scan features, the app also offers other security benefits such as virus and malware protection that keeps your smartphone secure from such notorious elements. Furthermore, you can try its impressive photo vault feature that makes your online identity safe by hiding your photos.

You can connect this app with AVG’s remote management console to obtain anti-theft protection. When you turn on the feature, it helps you use live GPS tracking if your phone is lost. The app is available on the Google Play Store and supports mobile phones having an operating system Android 4.1 or more.

AppLock

AppLock is another privacy app you can use to improve the security of your Android devices hassle-free. If you want to protect your various social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp, this app will be a must.

If we talk about its features, you can use password, pattern, and fingerprint protection to secure each app that resides on your phone. Moreover, you can hide your data, including pictures, videos, songs, and others.

The app offers an attractive quick-lock system that helps you lock your Android phone instantly. Besides, you can block annoying incoming calls using this app.

Sophos Mobile Security

Sophos mobile security is a popular app among security professionals across the globe. As far as its privacy features go, you can use its excellent Wi-Fi scanning feature to send your data on a safe network only. The app enables you to use other security advantages like password protection, web filtering, managed mode, theft, and malware protection.

The web filtering feature plays a crucial role in staying away from malicious websites or links successfully. The app does have other exciting enterprise features for its users, such as a managed mode that helps an IT department of a company examine your Android device’s health. The app scans your entire smartphone to detect malware or harmful content. Besides, its impressive theft protection feature helps you remotely wipe your stolen phone.

Hence, you can secure your crucial information from the prying eyes of hackers and other cybercriminals.

Trend Micro Mobile Security and Antivirus

Apart from providing essential security features, the app has a built-in VPN feature that allows you to surf the web anonymously. However, you should use a full-fledged VPN service like NordVPN to gain maximum online protection while using your desired mobile phones.

If you do not want to bear any cost, you can try NordVPN free trial hack to discover how a VPN protects your digital footprints. You can also use its remote console feature that helps you to find out your lost smartphone.

Avast Mobile Security

Avast is another well-known IT security company like AVG that provides comprehensive privacy solutions for your Android mobile phones. In terms of security, you can experience different features like call blocker, RAM booster, VPN, anti-theft, etc.

Once you start using such benefits, you can block unwanted calls accordingly and safeguard your phone from multiple cybersecurity threats. Similarly, you can also use a device blocking feature, which blocks your mobile phone as soon as your phone’s SIM card is changed.

Wrapping Up

Securing your Android mobile phones from several privacy issues like hacking and cyberbullying is in your own hands. You should not install apps on your mobile devices from unknown sources except Google Play Store. Above all, you should use the best Android security apps described above to safeguard your digital lives appropriately.
