Hello @pgoldner ,

Welcome to the Webroot Community,

After installing the Webroot app on your iOS device, it does not appear in the online management account under Mobile Security as Android devices do. This is as designed.

Because of how Apple controls the apps that are available for their mobile devices, there is currently no way to get a virus on them. In turn, there are no antivirus apps made for Apple mobile devices. However, Webroot does provide a SecureWeb application for iOS devices to protect your information online.

Since there is no antivirus available for these devices, they will not be listed in the Mobile Security section of the online management account. If you are using the Backup & Sync app, only included in SecureAnywhere Complete subscriptions, then you will see the device listed in the Backups section of the online management account.

Hope this helps somewhat?
