Hello, Thank God for forums like this! I believe I have just accidentally clicked on link with virus on my i phone 13 and perhaps downloaded a virus. How can I verify this and if necissary get rid of it? I have read all I can but still haven't found out how. Thank you in advance.
iPhone 7, iOS 14
Your phone cannot be infected with a virus by clicking a link, no matter how suspicious it looks. There are no known viruses that can infect an iPhone, regardless of the source.

Hello slick58,
While it is always good to be concerned about the security of your iPhone, most likely it does not have a virus.
Be sure that you follow the guidelines outlined here on using the built-in security for the iPhone: Use the built-in security and privacy protections of iPhone - Apple Support
You also want to be sure to recognize any possible phishing: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviors. If you notice something specific, go ahead and ask about it here. Others are always happy to assist.
Have a good day.
Thank you very much. It's nice to know that there is help out there for people who just don't get it.
