Norton or any other AV tool cannot even scan an iPhone or iPad like they would on a computer. iOS and iPadOS do not allow apps to scan or access other apps files or storage space.


So those AV apps for iOS are nothing more than ad blockers for your web browser, at best. They really are quite pointless in a sandboxed operating system like iOS or iPadOS.
