Unless you "jailbreak" your iPhone there are no viruses in public circulation for iOS, so there's no need.

hi my phone was hot, apps crashing, people were sending & receiving messages with my apple ID, battery wasnt lasting. heres what fixed this for me. go to settings, apple ID, scroll down to see what devices show & remove any that arent yours. for me, there was a device labeled roku that was showing & even though i have a roku tv, it turns out that wasnt my actual tv.. someone had gained access to my icloud & was hiding under a legitimate looking device name. after i removed it, phone stopped with “virus/hacking” type issues. after removing change icloud password & i even changed my passcode. hope this helps u too
