You need malware protection for smartphones more than virus protection. That said, Malwarebytes is solid.

McAfee comes embedded in your device already.

McAfee is only built into some models not all have it since certain Carriers remove it so you have to use something they provide

The s22+ has McAfee pre installed no matter the carrier. It can be found in device care. Its a partnership with Samsung and also can not be removed from the device without Root because its built into the system and is also a part of samsung Knox system. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿป

Not true,  I had the S22 and Verizon removes its on there devices.  McAfee is only on some devices and not all since the Carriers can add or remove any feature they want to.

According to my research, it wasnt the carrier that removes it. Only the unlocked version of s22 with U1 were shipped with McAfee pre installed so that would explain why its not there.
