Do I have malware?? Help!

Yesterday, a lot of my apps started crashing for no reason, and sometimes when I opened Safari all of the tabs had been closed. My phone isn’t jailbroken and I’m running iOS 14.4.1. I’m really anxious and I’ve been losing sleep over this, so any help will be appreciated!

If its not jailbroken, then there is no way for it to have any type of malware.


Restart your iPhone to clear out any potential glitches, and go to Settings->Safari->Close Tabs, and make sure its not set to something you don’t want. Like “After one day”.
