30-day full version of G DATA Mobile Security for Android included!

With G DATA Mobile Security Light, you get the full version with numerous extended premium features that you can test for 30 days at no charge and with no commitment. The full version offers the following features:

► Flawless antivirus scanner with Advanced Scan
Protect your smartphone or tablet against all types of malicious software, such as viruses, Trojans, or spyware. Even directly during the installation of a new app, the scan engine detects every threat, with no exceptions. Thanks to the automatically loaded signatures, your device remains protected on the move, even if there is no Internet connection for a short time.

► Web protection
Our web protection blocks dangerous phishing websites that try to grab sensitive data such as your passwords or bank details, meaning you can surf, bank, and shop online with peace of mind.

► Rapidly find your lost devices
You have misplaced your cell phone or it has been stolen? Locate it easily using our online platform, or trigger a beep to find it. If the battery runs out, the app sends its location so you can find your device even when it is turned off.

► Anti-theft protection
Protect your photos, videos, and messages from strangers. With G DATA Mobile Security for Android, you can remotely lock your lost device or automatically lock your device in case of unauthorized SIM card change to prevent thieves from using your device.

► Protect apps with a PIN
Protect selected apps with a PIN. This will let you be able to put your phone down without worrying about someone making expensive in-app purchases or viewing your confidential data.

If you want to continue using the premium features, you can acquire a license for one year or one month with a convenient in-app purchase. When the trial phase automatically ends after 30 days, the Light version continues to provide full antivirus protection and shows you the permissions for all installed apps.

Important: This app requires the device administrator for anti-theft protection and the accessibility features for web protection.

Ratings and reviews

I have an account already for my PC. I love that, but this app won't recognize my login credentials. So I have no control over how to configure the app unless I can access the settings. What's up with this? ** edit --- I'm going to uninstall this and use something else. I can't open the app. It is completely inaccessible. Edit --- Awesome, thank you

So far it seems like a very good security program for your Android. Please add a dark theme or another theme. Thank you. 🙂 Also, I'm very glad you do not have any trackers in this app.*UPDATE: Since the most recent update of G Data, the scans do not finish or cancelled?**UPDATE 2: G DATA seems to have a problem scanning apk files, hangs then total scan fails. Please fix.***UPDATE 3: Scanning is much improved. I really like the new logo and font choice.UPDATE4: Now you have a tracker😡🤮

For every 'incoming call ring' the password input interface flickers. As a result, I am able to neither input password nor answer the incoming call. I have put my 'phone app' under password protected apps. Developers if fixes this issue, that will be great update.

What’s new

SIM card protection has been improved by allowing the alarm and location functions to be activated individually.
