I have the free versions of Bit Defender and Malwarebytes apps on my Android phone. Scans include my banking and telecom apps eg all apps ... I don't think you can 'choose' using these free security apps.
Some advice states that such scanning apps are not needed on Android due to the isolation of individual apps. However, a scan makes me feel 'comfortable'... but can these security apps obtain any personal info? I think not but some expert comment would be appreciated.

Thanks Joe. Meaning ... they can't access personal info?

They could but if they say they don't and you trust them then trust them.
