Hello Catdogowl12,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you have a new Apple product and would like to know if you should add "mobile security". We'd be happy to help.


Could you please explain what you mean by "mobile security?" We see that you posted in the Apple ID community, is this regarding your Apple ID being used on your new device?


Or are you looking to extend hardware coverage and technical support on the product? If so, take a look at AppleCare Products.


Take care.

No.


Best to focus on and keep your credentials secure, such as robust and unique passwords and working through Apple’s password security recommendations, enabling two-factor authentication if not already in use, keeping current on iOS and apps, becoming familiar with phishing and scams, and related security.


The devices aren’t the weakest point lately, we are.
