So my workplace is mostly iPhone users and someone asked me what kind of antivirus software I used on my Android, and I said “none” and he flipped out about how unsafe it was. Other people chimed in saying how all androids need antivirus apps and I’ve never heard of such a thing. I do have ad-blockers and a VPN but never downloaded an antivirus. Should I? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks lemmings, love you.

    As long as you lock the bootloader, GrapheneOS operates the same as stock Android in this regard. If anything, you’d be safer on GrapheneOS because of the extra control you get over app permissions.
