While many of these features are important for users to have, keep in mind that many of them are already available for free using functions such as Apple’s “Find My iPhone” or iCloud. That being said, Norton Mobile Security does offer several additional features such as mobile malware protection, a special “lost mode” function that uses the device’s camera to take a photo of someone that may using your device. For mobile phones, Norton Mobile Security provides the ability to block calls and text messages from specific people or phone numbers.

Available immediately, Norton Mobile Security is priced at $29.99. Additionally, the company said its Norton 360 Multi-Device and Norton One products would be updated with the latest release of Norton Mobile Security. Existing customers with a valid product subscription are eligible to receive the latest product updates.
