Help identify malware on my iphone I accidentally accepted an airdrop from someone I don’t know. It was an offensive pic that I got out of and I can’t find it anywhere on my SE Phone. I’m afraid it was malware. What’s the best way to test my iPhone for malware?

Possible hacking on my iPhone. I clicked on a site that is on Safari, and after scrolling down a bit got an inappropriate video that was AirDropped to me. As soon as trying to decline the AirDrop, I was taken to a site and got a pop-up saying my iPhone has been hacked. I haven't been noticing anything serious going on yet, but don't know whether or not I should be using my iPhone. What should I do?

Someone airdropped me a pic with airdrop and bluetooth turned off... Got hacked? Hi, I don't use bluetooth or airdrop. They were both turned off... A few days ago, I was on subway using my iphone (newset ios 12.3.1). All of sudden, someone airdropped me a picture. Of course I didn't accept it. But the real question is why can someone airdrop me a picture when both bluebooth and airdrop were turned off... My wifi was on but it didn't connect to any AP (I was on the subway). Was my iphone compromised? Was I hacked? Is there a security bug in ios 12.3.1 that allows others airdrop you something even airdrop and bluetooth were off? I can't trust this iphone anymore. Can that picture contain a malware or virus or somthing?... Should I reset my iphone to factory and restore from my backup? I just made a backup but don't know if the malware or virus is in the backup... Any help would be appreciated!

Not unless you have jailbroken your iPhone.
