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.

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.
