I have a 12 mth old iPhone that refuses to load or have any access to 5 G . It has been upgraded, the VPN is off as is the web guard but still no internet connection. Now I will have to delete the app hoping this will fix it . I pay for this service and at the moment if I’m away from my home wifi the phone is useless for work banking etc I would like to know why as customers we didn’t get a notification about this issue as I only found out from a tech expert when I called them .

Hi @pete_jo_george,

Welcome to Trend Micro Community!

Not everyone experiences this issue, which is why it took some time to investigate. If your device has a pre-existing problem and encounters the same issue with Web Guard while using mobile data, we strongly recommend updating the app to the latest version 11.2.1071.

To update your Trend Micro Mobile Security, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Search for Trend Micro Mobile Security.
  3. Tap the Update button beside TM Mobile Security


If the problem continues, please uninstall the Mobile Security app and address any pre-existing issues beforehand.

To All,

After my last post I have retraced my steps/location to test mobile and it works in all recalled locations.

Phone - iPhone 7 Plus

IOS - 15.8.1

Carrier - Belong (Telstra) Data allocation not used is in excess of 140 Gigabytes

Social media - None

Only 5 Apps installed - Bank Access, 2 News Sites - ABC and SBS, Be More for Hearing Aids and Galaxy Watch.

Trend Package was included as part of new Computer in 2002.

Doubt it has worked properly since that time until 11.2.1022 (did not bother with 11.2.1054) and then fell over with issue of 11.2.1070.

Version is now 11.2.1071.

Mobile device works as one would expect a mobile to work - anywhere there is a good carrier signal. 3/4 g does not matter so long as there is 1bar strength.

Still not intending to install on an XR - doubt Trend is absolutely stable though it appears to be working.

Trend certainly complains if I try to connect to public wifi.

Let's hope Trend have sorted out the problem.

Hi @hrat,

Try to consider installing/reinstalling your Mobile Security app to XR to confirm if it's working now.  Should it still fail to meet your expectations, you have the option to uninstall it at any time.
