There is no hack, malware, spyware or virus for a non jailbroken iphone.


That would be incorrect in general, unfortunately. Malware is available for iOS and iPadOS, but it’s expensive, rarely deployed, and typically targeted at very specific sorts of folks.


This question gets posted quite often, usually either as a “gotcha” (as malware does exist), or gets posted by somebody that really shouldn’t be using iPhone or iPad or other commodity electronic devices, either because they are prioritizing higher security over use. Security was, is, and will be a trade-off. If you’re a valuable target, you’re going to have completely different choices and considerations than will most other folks. And you’ll need far better advice than you’ll get around here.


And if you’re here and asking this question and don’t have (for instance) iOS 13.4 installed and an iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro or whatever is now the latest hardware, and don’t already have robust passwords, and don’t already have two-factor authentication enabled, and robust encrypted backups, and care and consideration around what’s installed and what you’re accessing, you’ve got other issues to address. Now.


If you’re a target of folks with exploit tooling, you’re headed for a whole pile of additional considerations, not the least of which will be better compartmentalization, far fewer apps installed, as well as different approaches for even using any existing hardware and software and networking tools.


Security is a trade-off, being akin to insurance it’s quite possible to have too little or too much security, there is and can never be complete security, and complete security is fundamentally unusable.


To the original poster: exactly none of what you want can be addressed here. -lease discuss your concerns with your legislators and to your government communications oversight and regulatory folks.
