Android can be as safe as iOS for now , its 2025 already , u think it stil like old day and its easy to install 3rd party apk on android?
After u download the apk , and pressing the installation , ur phone first will prompt this on ur screen , only u present allow , then only u able go for the next step


Then phone security will start virus and malware scan the the source of apps , if it found not from Google Play Store , it will prompt and warning u for the risk , u have to tick agree only can proceed to installation



At this point. It will prompt to ask u verify your biometric to confirm that is your phone but not installed by 3rd person , sorry i cant screenshot as it not allowed. 

So can u see? To installed 3rd party apk actually take alot of security step, and why if its risking but user choose to install it?
Now we can see the point here very clearly , ppl claim that using iphone more secure for banking? Like if u having both ios and android but u trust iphone for the bank apps? That is because the user hand gatal , go install 3rd party apk on android phone , then at the end , user blame android not secure compared to iOS.

Now i ask u , is actually USER not secure? Or Android not secure? What if the user using like iOS , without install any 3rd party apk , will it really making problem for their banking apps?

User error but blame on the Operating system ,LOL.

If u talking about privacy, yes for sure iOS have better privacy, but if talking about security , sorry both system are doing very well now and its always user problem>OS itself.

Wow , u don't educate your parent what to do and what to not do? It's really shame on you.

It just like Giant selling KNIFE OPEN SOURCE for everyone , it actually selling to you for you to potong ayam potong sayur , then u take the knife to killing ppl , then Polis will blame Jusco and catch giant for selling Knife instead of blame the user that buy the knife to kill ppl? What logic are you seriously?
It's weird that user error but blame on the Operating System.
Like i show in previous post , to successfully install 3rd party APK actually request alot of step nowaday , it's not as easy to install like the OLD DAY , ur parent buta kah dont know to read the "Security Reminds You" ,  "App From External SOURCE" , TICK "I have Understood the risk detection result of the app" TO FINAL installation step , it request your Biometrix or your 6 digit Passcode , only u can 100% successful to install the APK. Oh gosh already open underwear show u in front of you have the river , do u want to jump? and u choose the answer "YES i want to jump" and u blame others?
Like u buying some house & car loan and u sign your document blind without go thru those document?
Understand android was open source , u can use it either very safely , or u want to take the RISK , it's USER choice , u buying a KNIFE to potong ayam or to Killing ppl , it's your choice , but dont blame on the people who selling the KNIFE , that THE POINT men !!!

Educate your parent , dont let 3rd person to touch their phone or install anything on phone , do ur parent actually show them what color of underwear they wearing today? U know passing your phone to unknown or 3rd person nowadays is like showing your underwear to 3rd person , why want to do so and will u do so?

Dont say your parent lo , even my kid 7 year old also wont simply give ppl their ipad or phone to unknown ppl loh , haiyo.....
