The news had been expected for some time, and now Microsoft has launched its cross-platform Defender app on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. The new app is available to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers and also offers cross-device alerts, while on Windows and macOS only it will offer security tips. Features will differ from platform to platform:
on Android, it will offer virus protection, malware scanning, web phishing protection
on iOS and iPadOS, which lack virus protection, web phishing protection
on Windows, it will act as a security dashboard without replacing the built-in application.
