Android vs. iOS- Which Platform is More Secure in 2021?

 

Whenever we talk about mobile app development, it is necessary to compare every aspect from the perspectives of archrivals Android and iOS. Let’s take an example of mobile app security. Irrespective of app development duration and methodology, the security of your enterprise app largely depends on the operating system (OS). Though iOS has remained an unprecedented winner for a long time Google has decided to up the ante with the release of Android Q.

Here we are going to find the answer to an age-old question- which mobile operating system is more secure, Android or iOS? As we become more dependent on mobile devices for banking, social media, and online shopping, cybercriminals focus more on attacking our Android and iOS-powered devices for getting access to the most personal information. Let’s check out the threat level for both these operating systems in this blog.

But, before moving forward, let’s have a quick look at both these systems from the viewpoint of a mobile app development company.

Android OS

Popularity- With almost 72% market share globally, Android OS enjoys higher popularity than iOS. This is one of the major reasons why entrepreneurs and individuals opt for Android app development. But then, huge popularity makes Android OS more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Also, the app review process on Google Play is far less stringent as compared to that on Apple’s App Store. As a result, users may accidentally install a malicious app on their devices, especially when they trust Unknown Sources.

Open Source- As an open-source OS, Android enables device manufacturers to modify the source code. Users find this aspect highly flexible and interesting, but it increases the risk of cyberattacks. Altering the source code of the device can open the doors for cybercriminals.

Special Offers To Your Unengaged Recipients

  This is a mistake that a lot of marketers make when using social media – Forgetting to include the lead form. We frequently get caught up in the other parts of social media like “conversing” and “engaging” and “joining the conversation” that we forget to include our own motives in our work.  Make sure that some of your tweets go to landing pages on your site or refer back to content offers that you have. A good rule of thumb is that if you’ve made ten tweets but haven’t linked to something that could generate leads for you, it’s the perfect time to do so. Some marketing automation software packages can also help you track this and handle it for you.  If you have other interactive tweets and actions happening, that means that you have the engaged following that you need to be successful with this.
