Does my iPhone have malware?

"You can't get malware from a broken link" is totally inaccurate and should not be considered helpful in the Apple community. Please do your research. Also the statement "Are you a high-profile activist, politician, or journalist whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire" contradicts your final thought. Thanks

Hi, it is possible to get malware from visiting broken link sites or unsecured sites through links, amongst other items. Being your browser did not load the website does not necessarily mean you have a malware issue now, however, but to ensure your phone is not storing any unwanted cookies or bad links, do the following.

Open your settings > choose Safari not to be confused with Siri and Search. It's located in the 4th panel beneath Mail, Contacts, Calendar, etc. > From here, scroll down to Clear History and Website Data highlighted in Blue > Select Clear History and Data when the pop-up screen is displayed.

Do note you may lose previous saved items or logins.

Other options include contacting Apple Support for further help and or doing a hard reset on your device which should be the last option if possible. Good Luck.

Have you jailbroken your phone? Has anyone had access to it while it was unlocked? Are you a high profile activist, politician or journalist whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire? If the answer to those questions is “No”, you don’t have malware. Despite what a previous poster has said, you can’t get malware from a broken link.

No, you don't have malware. No, your phone wasn't hacked. You visited a website that was broken.

I have done my research. And no, my mention of being a high-profile target does not contradict anything. High-profile targets are not compromised by random broken links. Please do your research.
