Downlading antivirus on your android smartphone has several negative effects like: it takes up space in the storage and eats up RAM. These issues make the device slow. Moreover the reality is that you don’t require an antivirus. This is because android os is a linux based operating system, therefore it has better security already. So installing an antivirus on android does nothing but only eat up storage and memory. The only executable file in android is ’apk’, so the way to stay safe is by not installing applications from any other source than playstore. Take proper measures and stay safe, we don’t need an antivirus.
