Hi,
my question is:
can a virus survive to an hard reset ?
Is thare a trusted way to really wipe the phone ?
I suspected I have a virus, then I was gone to an apple store (because I haven't a pc with itunes) to have an hardreset with itunes. But my suspect aren't disappeared. My phone was gotten of untrusted man for 1 hour. Please don't say me u don't believe and that iphone is not hackable. Just answer the question.
Thank you.
iPhone 6s
If it was restored using itunes and setup as new no.bc bckup can include anomalies thats why to resolve issues like that is best to setup as new
I ask you to answer too.
You can perform a clean install of iOS. This will wipe everything from the device. Viruses are not possible for non-jailbroken iPhones no matter what laptop you are using, because iOS is not "open".
Good reason to set an access code or touchID then.
Restoring as new in iTunes will un-jailbreak it but restoring your data may be risky in that case.
Borrow a Laptop.
[edit] or ask the store to do it.
Lesson learned. Access security is there for your safety .
Clean it, Secure it.
You don’t have a virus if it isn’t jailbroken but if you're worried none would survive a Settings, General, Reset , Erase all content and settings.
We need no details about your private life. The question was: what indicates a virus to you.
A few days back a woman complained about her phone that it has a virus/been hacked, because it was living the life on its own. Later we found out that she replaced her screen at 3rd party service provider. And this is actually what could make her iPhone behave that way – cheap and faulty screen.
Erase your iPhone, set it up as new, create a passcode, set up two-factor authentication, use Touch ID.
I answered you to answer because there are many many reasons I can't / don't want answer to your questions. Mainly because I have to explain many many things about my private life. I don't want explain and talk about my private life in public.
You say:
"Viruses are not possible for non-jailbroken iPhones"
As I said my phone was been in the avalibility of un untrusted man for 1 hour. I don't know what he has done whith my phone in the while. Maybe he has jailbroen it, or other things. The phone has not any security code. If u take my phone u can do everything.
Also if I search on google for "iphone spyware price" I find many app u can install on the iphone and are totally invisible to the user... then honestly I don't understand why u say "Virus are not possible on iphones".
For example, the following app is a spyware for non-jailbroken devices

then what are u saying ?
What indicates a virus on you iPhone?
Please just answer.
Ok I understand, thank you very much.
You are welcome
