Is there virus protection on iPhone 13?

I am aware of the lockdown mode, but that’s more for hacker or cyber attacks. If there’s no virus setting, is there a virus protection app that works well? (preferably free)

iPhone 13, iOS 17

You do not need a virus protection app on an iPhone. This is because the iPhone operates in Apple’s closed environment. This makes it nearly impossible for an iPhone to be affected by a virus. You should try and not install any virus protection on your iPhone since those apps will serve a purpose of no value and may get in the way of the iPhone’s performance.

VPN service does not encrypt anything. It just masks the IP address of your device’s internet connection. You may use a VPN if you like, however, the benefit that it provides is marginal if any.

Oh, okay, I didn’t know that. Are VPNs still fine to use (y’know, with them encrypting your data and stuff)?
