Many big antivirus like Bitdefender have an antivirus app for Android, and iPhone, so there are safer antivirus for mobile. I think more people would need an antivirus app for their smartphone when they use smartphones more for storing data, using office suites, and doing other tasks.

I think it is also a good idea to not click on strange links in messaging apps and text messages from people you don't trust because the link may trick them into downloading and installing malware apps.

A lot of times they get uploaded to the store and found too late to be bad.

Stores like Google Play also have a basic antivirus for scanning for malware apps, so the app store will warn you if you have malware installed.

Well the main thing with AV is you don't know it is a virus until a expert deems it as so.
