Microsoft Defender app now available on Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS

Not to be confused with Windows Defender / Windows Security, the new Microsoft Defender app is made available as part of the Microsoft 365 service and is aimed at being a hub to help you manage and monitor your security status across your devices.

According to Microsoft, the new Microsoft Defender app helps individuals manage and view security protections from a single easy-to-use, centralized dashboard by linking to your Microsoft account across your devices.

Depending on the operating system, Microsoft Defender will have some variations. On iOS and iPadOS, there is no antivirus protection but it will have some web protection. On Android, it has its own antivirus protection alongside malware scanning for downloaded apps and web protection.

On Windows and macOS, Microsoft Defender works alongside other antivirus software such as Norton or McAfee while providing web protection.

The app will also be able to show the security status and provide security updates across any of your devices where the app is installed.

The Microsoft Defender app is now available to download for free on all four major platforms but requires a Microsoft 365 Family or Personal subscription. Microsoft says that it will continue bringing more protection and features to help simplify online security for you and your family.
