I accidentally accepted an airdrop from someone I don’t know. It was an offensive pic that I got out of and I can’t find it anywhere on my SE Phone. I’m afraid it was malware. What’s the best way to test my iPhone for malware?
iPhone SE (Gen 3)
If you go to "albums" and then to "recents" then it should appear there. Even if the date of the image was changed.
Because there it is ordered chronological of the date when its imported.
So but if you can't find it... I wouldn't worry too much. As I said... iPhones are pretty secure :)
But if you want to be very sure... you can wipe your entire iPhone and reset it from a backup you have.
(Note: Everything since that last Backup will be lost)

It's nearly impossible to get Malware on your iPhone... because iOS doesn't allow any applications from third party. So no Application that is not from the App Store...
But if it was a picture then the photo is normally saved into the photo App... Have you looked there?
did you look in the files app?
Yes, nothing weird. Thanks so much.
Yes, it was the first place I looked and unless there’s a way to change a date or hide the picture, I don’t see it.
thanks so much for your help.

Look in Photos app in the recent folder.
I found it! It was only in the iCloud. Thanks so much for your help!!!
