Antivirus applications keep your mobile phone safe from online and offline threats popularly known as malwares and viruses. They work in the background to check file activity, process behavior and your internet browsing activity.
A good AV app will keep your device safe no matter how much time you spend browsing the internet or download files from the various websites.
