Microsoft Introduced a new Defender cross-platform client app for Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, Android, and iOS. And this new app is getting enrolled for Windows 11 and Windows 10 users, this app has been released after testing it for over a year. As per Microsoft, this defender app is getting installed if you are an active Microsoft 365 subscription user. This app will install automatically for all Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription users, if you still didn’t get the new defender app, make sure your device is up to date. This new defender app works based on web components (WebView), it will help users to keep tabs on antivirus, malware scans, phishing, compromised password, and more. This app is a lightweight app, you can download the new defender app from the Microsoft store free of cost, but you need Microsoft 365 subscription to activate all of its features. The new Microsoft Defender is like a security dashboard that gives details of security alerts and threats across connected devices. All you have to do is just download and install the defender app on all your devices and log in with Microsoft account. I tested this app with my business accounts but its not supporting for business account, it requires a personal Microsoft account such as @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, or @live.com. Some users reported that this app replaces the Windows Security app on Windows, and after uninstalling the defender app still it throws an error to install the new defender app. If you want to experience this new defender app, then this article will guide you to install Microsoft’s new Defender app in Windows 11.
Install Microsoft’s new Defender app in Windows 11:
You can download and install Microsoft’s new Defender app from Microsoft Store. Click on this link to download the Defender app on Windows 10/11.
Click on the Get in Store app, and install the app, login with your Personal Microsoft account.
This app is also available for your Android, iOS, and Mac devices, you can download the app from Playstore or Apple store.
Or you can send an invite link from any one of your devices and download the app on the other devices.
Once you installed the defender app, you can check the security of Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac devices without physical access to any devices. It is not a full-fledged security app, it’s like a security dashboard, the app relies on existing features of the OS for security checks. On Windows 10/11 it used Windows Security to check your PC for malware, viruses, and other known security problems. On Android, Microsoft defender relies on Android accessibility features to protect your device from phishing attacks.
This app allows you to easily manage your device’s security in one centralized view.
