iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken. 


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password etc with your friends and family members.

Thank you very much! It’s a relief to know what is exactly going on with that. Are used to have an android and there were just some people that love packing phones and I was getting very frustrated with it so anything pertaining to that stuff really makes me uncomfortable. Your information definitely help me understand exactly what that is and I appreciate that.
