I was wondering how can I check my iPhone or iPad for malware or viruses? I know that on iOS you can’t scan. But are they like symptoms. Like battery draining faster, storage is changing the hole time, apps that you didn’t install… I just wanted to know this because if it ever happens I could take care of it quickly.
Unless you have jailbroken your iPhone or iPad, it doesn't have malware or viruses.
I would suggest that you back everything up then retore your devices to factory state and test.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Also, check the battery health of your phone. If it's below 80%, that will slow things down a lot. You should get the battery replaced.
It also sounds as if you're either sharing an Apple ID or part of Family Sharing. Either could explain apps you don't recognize. If you're sharing an Apple ID, stop now.
Change the passcode to your phone and your Apple ID password:

Unless you have jailbroken your phone, you cannot get viruses or malware. So, the problems you're seeing aren't viruses or malware and there are no other symptoms to look out for.
Thank you for helping.
