Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus (Premium) APK

The description of Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus (Premium) APK

Avast Antivirus Premium APK is the Avast Mobile Security app with its paid Premium features unlocked. On this page you can download the latest build, scanned for malware and tested by our editors on real devices before publishing.

One thing up front, since this matters for a security app: Avast Premium is normally a paid subscription, and this is a modified copy. Below you will find an honest look at the privacy and permission questions that come with any antivirus, plus the official route if you would rather use the app the standard way. We do not cover how to bypass payment, only how to install a plain APK.

What is Avast Mobile Security?

Avast Mobile Security by Avast Software is one of the better-known Android security apps. The core tools include an antivirus that scans apps and files, a Web Shield that checks links and downloads, and anti-theft features such as remote lock, GPS location, remote wipe and Camera Trap. There is also App Lock for messaging, social and gallery apps, a call and SMS filter, and some basic device optimisation.

The app comes in two tiers: a free plan with the essential protection, and a paid Premium subscription that adds the extras below.

What Premium unlocks

These are the features Avast normally sells as a subscription. This APK has them switched on.

Privacy, permissions and legality

This is the honest part, and it is important. An antivirus asks for deep access to do its job: it scans your files, and anti-theft needs the camera, your location and device admin control. That is a lot of trust to place in an app. When the app is a copy modified by a third party rather than the official build, you are also trusting whoever assembled it, and we cannot vouch for their intentions the way we can for Avast itself.

There is a legal side too. Premium is a paid product, and unlocking it outside a subscription goes against Avast's terms. We do not provide any patching or license-bypass steps here. For a security tool in particular, the safer choice is the official app: the free plan already covers the basics most people need, and a real subscription unlocks Premium properly. Our file is scanned and editor-tested, but the informed decision is yours to make.

How to download and install

1. Tap the Download APK button on this page — the file (about 41 MB) downloads directly. You can also get the app from Google Play.
2. Allow installation from unknown sources for your browser in Android settings.
3. Open the file, tap Install, and launch the app. It needs Android 9.0 or newer.

If you are new to sideloading, our APK install guide walks through each screen.

Free vs Premium vs the official app

For most people, the free plan is enough: real-time scanning, Web Shield and basic anti-theft cover everyday needs. Premium is worth it if you specifically want App Lock, Camera Trap and an ad-free experience. Because this is a security app that sees so much of your device, the official version from Google Play is the version we would recommend, whether you stay on free or pay for Premium.
