Do I need VPN on my iPhone, if I do not connect through wifi?

Do I need VPN on my iPhone?


I use my phone (when on internet) as a hotspot at home (Verizon).

I do not access the internet via any outside wifi connection.

I live in a rural area and no one can connect to my phone’s wifi network.


Thanks


Edit: My concern is protecting financial information

iPhone XR

No. You don't need it regardless of how you connect.


So-called public VPN services are nothing more than glorified proxy servers. They do nothing to protect you. In fact, they do exactly the opposite.
