Possible virus or malware?

Thanks for the response, how would I know if something I downloaded is “jailbreak” I had never heard that term until you mentioned.

If you didn't jailbreak your device (which is sounds like you didn't) and no one else has had access to your device while it was unlocked, your phone is not jailbroken.

Hey there,

You won't need virus scanning apps because the iPhone doesn't get any viruses, as SravanKra told you unless you jailbreak your device!

to make sure that your device isn’t jailbreaks :

One way to confirm if your iPhone is jailbroken is to look for an app called either “Cydia” or “Sileo”. These apps are in fact third-party app stores that are usually installed during the jailbreak process. However, it is also important to note that on a jailbroken device, any app icon (e.g. Cydia/Sileo) can be made invisible to the user so it is not a fool-proof method of detection.

It is also important to check for any other unusual apps that have appeared on your home screen that you haven’t downloaded yourself. Many jailbreak tools include a launcher app which can be run to re-jailbreak the device if the jailbreak has been removed. An example of one of these apps is “checkra1n” which is often installed alongside one of the most popular jailbreaks. If you find an app that you’re not sure about, you should try Googling its name and it should tell you if it’s related to a jailbreak tool.

Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be 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.
