There is no app to identify one on your iPhone because there are currently no viruses in the wild that can run on your iPhone assuming it is not jailbroken. You can use your favorite search engine if you want to confirm what I just said. The problem with putting a virus on an iPhone is by definition a virus has to be able to replicate to other apps/areas on the device. Since iOS is sandboxed, and has no available user file management system, there is no way for that to happen.
You might want to try restoring your iPhone from your backup and see if that helps.

Are you sure? I think I have a virus too cuz I had to remove some apps after they "acted up" when I was scammed out of $150.00 for signing up for Roku!! I think there's something going on and even Apple has admitted their phones have been compromised!!
Oh thank you very much that was so helpful. Thank you for taking your time to explain it to me. I have one more question. Why is my phone so slow when is low battery or why is it turning of when it’s a little bit colder and I can say you for sure in my country is it 0-17C so yeah I don’t understand this. Sorry for my English maybe it’s not everything grammatically correct.
Why do you believe so?
Because it’s always getting really slow when it’s cold or when the battery is low. And I have it just one and a half year so it’s not that old.
There are no viruses that can run on your device.
How do you know?
Because I am very smart.
Yeah sorry I just wanted to know the reasons.
Apple never admitted anything like that.
I am moving on to help people that really need it.
oh that’s bad, but no I’m not sure and I asked because I hoped someone will know a good app to check if there is a virus and if yes on more app for removing the virus
On your phone go to Settings > Battery and check the battery health. If it is near 80% or below that is your problem and you need to get it replaced.
It’s 82%. I’m going to see if my uncle can replace it.
You are better off having an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider do so.
Yeah I don’t have one near but my uncle is specialized for this but I thank you for your advance and time you were very helpful.
