You may already know that iPhones can get viruses when they’re jailbroken. When you jailbreak an iPhone, all the safeguards built in by Apple are removed. However, there are several other ways iPhones can get a virus.

It’s possible for your iPhone to become infected when you use a public charging station, as you never know who is on the other end of the cable, or what they’ll do if you tap “Trust This Device”.

Third-party app stores, configuration profiles, and links on sketchy websites can also give your iPhone a virus.

There are several signs your iPhone may have a virus. There may be an app you didn’t install. If you find one, delete it immediately.

Your iPhone might get very hot, die faster, or use more data than normal. Just keep in mind these could also be a sign of a software problem.

People often mistake spam for a virus. If you see a pop-up on your iPhone saying something like “virus detected on iPhone,” your iPhone doesn’t actually have a virus. It’s a spam message designed to scare you into giving up your personal information. If you see a message like this in a web browser, it’s a good idea to clear the browser’s history and website data.

Another common tactic is known as “calendar spam”. A scammer will attempt to subscribe you to a calendar. If you see spam calendars on your iPhone, delete them immediately.

  1. Hey a quick question I have a friend that loves sending quote pictures on WhatsApp is that in any way dangerous to receive I’m an ios user ? ( I have seen a android phone slow way down I suspect some type of program running in the background or something )

  2. so whenever i’m playing a game I’ll randomly get sent to a page on safari of a false amazon trying to make me answer a survey to win an iPad Pro, and if I fill out the survey it leads me to a “you win!” page asking for my full name, exact address, where I go to work/school, and my bank info. wtf is happening and how do I fix it bc it’s starting to get annoying and I’ve already reported both URL’s to Google through their phishing report page

  3. I LOVE you guys! I kept getting stuff saying that I have a virus and I need to click on this or that to clear it. I will go to the Apple store and still have it checked but at least I know there’s so much scamming now that sends this to your phone through your email. I did a few things that you had said, but still don’t understand the jail break thing, but I’ll let Apple Store tell me.
