more Hey,I am a big fan of this app. I am constantly under cyber attack. My classmate hacked my phone, revealed my personal information and made me drop out of college. Then I installed this app and it removed the spyware. I really love your app and have been using it for a long time. However, you recently changed the iOS version requirements. I am an iOS 16 user. Can I still continue using this app? I really need this app or else something bad might happen to me.

Hi. I have always like this app, but after updating my iPhone to IOS 14, the VPN isn’t allowing me to browse web, either on Safari or Chrome. Even several apps can’t access internet. Only when the VPN is turned off, all apps function normally. It took me a painfully long process of trail and error method to finally identify this issue. Please fix this at the earliest else there is not much use of using a paid version. Thanks.

I have been using McAfee from my very first computer I bought during my college days. Now I am using for my windows laptop as well as in my IPhone. I would say best suitable antivirus for my mobile, I also tried norton, it done well perhaps for some reason I love this guy. I recommend IPhone users to try it out.
Developer Response Hi, thanks a lot for all these many years of loyalty to McAfee. We are sure you will continue to enjoy it :)
