You get the most innovative technologies that predict, prevent, detect and remediate even the latest cyber-threats, anywhere in the world.

Best Protection for Android

Bitdefender Mobile Security provides unbeatable cloud-based malware detection and a smart anti-theft experience for your Android device, with virtually no battery impact.

Protection

Bitdefender`s mobile security app keeps your Android device safe from all new and existing online threats.

App Anomaly Detection [$INDUSTRY 1ST$]

An industry first, extra layer of security to keep users protected against evolving threats as soon as they exhibit malicious behavior. This is another safeguard against financial, sensitive, and personal data loss potentially caused by apps trying to evade regular detection.

Malware Scanner

Receive in-depth information about the type of threats you are protected against, so you know first-hand you’ve made the right choice to safeguard your Android devices.

On-Demand & On-Install Scan

Scan your Android phone or tablet any time to make sure all your apps are clean. Plus, the antivirus module automatically scans each app once you install it, and immediately lets you know whether it poses any danger.

Web Protection

Browsing the Internet can take you to dangerous places, but Bitdefender Android security is always there to protect you. Our anti-phishing system scans webpages and warns you when you come across fraudulent pages.

Scam Alert

Our newest technology proactively protects you against the rising mobile attacks relying on links to enter your device; it safeguards your notifications, texts, and instant messages to prevent you and others from falling victim to scams. Requires Android 6 or later.

WearON

WearON extends mobile security to your smart watch. And if you don’t know where your phone is, use WearON from your Android to activate a sound alert so you can easily find it. Receive an alert when you step too far away from your phone, so you never leave it behind.

Anti-Theft

With Bitdefender Anti-Theft, you can remotely locate, lock, wipe or send a message to your device in case of loss or theft. Plus, your Android phone is capable of self-defense: it snaps a mugshot of anyone who tries to tamper with it in your absence, then sends it to you in your Bitdefender Central account.

Performance

Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android reacts instantly to online threats without compromising your system’s performance.

Autopilot

Bitdefender Autopilot is designed to act as a Security Advisor and to give you deeper insights into your security posture. Its smart capabilities mean that it can recommend security actions in the context of your system needs and usage patterns.

Battery & Performance Saver

We designed Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android to give you the most effective protection, combined with efficient power management. Since most heavy lifting takes place in the cloud, it doesn’t drain your device’s resources, and your battery life remains virtually unaffected.

Fast & Light-Weight

Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android is amazingly powerful against malware, yet easy on your phone’s resources, so you won’t see any negative impact on performance. On-demand scanning is lightning fast, and the app only adds a second to the reboot time.

Privacy

Bitdefender’s mobile security app takes care of your online privacy and personal information.

Bitdefender VPN [$IMPROVED$]

With Bitdefender VPN, you can stop worrying about privacy on the web. It protects your online presence by encrypting all Internet traffic. Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android includes up to 200 MB per day of encrypted traffic for your Android device.

App Lock

App Lock protects your most sensitive apps so no one can mess with your settings or private info. Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android adds an extra layer of protection by giving you the possibility to lock apps with a PIN code. With Smart Unlock, you can set your phone to allow direct access to your protected apps when using a trusted Wi-Fi network.

Account Privacy

Check if your online accounts have been involved in any data breaches. With so many popular websites and apps issuing warnings about database leaks, it’s easy to lose track of your exposed accounts. Account Privacy notifies you when your sensitive data is at risk, and lets you take action depending on its status.
