I’m considering using the Zashi wallet on my cell phone. This is the first time I’m going to use a wallet on my cell phone and I confess that I’m very scared. Since it’s my first time, I’m going to set a very low real value to test it out. I’d like to know which is the best antivirus to use on my cell phone and if it’s worth buying a dedicated cell phone to use the Zashi wallet in order to guarantee greater protection against threats from malicious applications. My current cell phone has games, as well as some apps, and I don’t consider it very secure.

Is the Android that comes on smartphones not secure?

I don’t think Android antivirus are effective nor required.
