Not important in the least, and this is coming from someone with an android device.

I don't use anti virus software on my Android phones. Never had a virus on my phones ever.

I wouldn't even use it on an Android device. Just don't visit shady sites or download random files from the internet and you're good :)

The main phones out there are iOS devices and Android devices. There is very few viruses out there for those two operating system. I wouldn't worry about it. If you had a Windows device, I might worry about it (but that's because windows is filled with viruses). But haven't really heard of an Anti-Virus for a phone.

When it comes to digital threats like phishing, malware, and Trojans – there’s no better cure than prevention. The best way to avoid these threats is to install the best antivirus for your needs.
