There are no antivirus apps in the app store that can actually detect a virus. Anything that claims to be able to is a scam to take your money. The same thing that keeps your phone safe (sandboxing apps so they can only access their own data) also prevents any app from inspecting other apps.

And there has never been a virus for an iPhone. There have been other kinds of malware occasionally, but no viruses.

Ignore them and don’t click on them. They are phishing messages from criminals trying to steal your identity, your money, or both. There has never been a virus that has infected any iPhone.

And do not add any antivirus apps, either. They are all scams that don’t actually do anything other than slow down your phone and eat up battery life.

It is extremely unlikely that your iPhone 14 Pro has been infected by a virus.

Much more likely that criminals have popped up "phishing" messages of some sort designed to frighten you into contacting them for "help". At which point they will help themselves to your money – or information that would prove very helpful in committing some sort of scam or fraud against you.

These messages may appear in e-mail, on dodgy Web sites, or in Web site notifications (and might be disguised with graphics copied from legitimate marketing material).

But they are all in service of scams and spams.

There is no known virus/malware/spyware/hack for a non jailbroken phone.

clicking on a link won't give you a virus.

Not for any iPhone. A non-jailbroken phone cannot be hacked, get malware, or a virus.

This has nothing to do with a potential virus on your phone.

Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop.

You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link: Find Locations

There is absolutely no need to download any anti-virus for an iphone.

As noted, you do not have a virus on your phone. And, you do not need any antivirus software as they are useless on an iPhone.

My phone told me to check for viruses on my Apple phone 14 Pro because I keep getting Mac laptops on my device. I get 15.2 iPhone Apple iPhones on my phone. Just wanna check and see if there’s any virus my worst stuff going on prayer literate so you just have to

I have an iPhone 14. My phone has had WiFi turning on and off by itself (when not updating the iOS, and I have had Safari open to random pages I didn’t visit. I do not visit links, download random apps, or engage in risky online behaviors. I try to update my apps and iOS whenever possible. I have done a full factory reset twice. The issues persist. Any idea what is going on?

Believe us, you don’t have a virus.

I have a brand new apple 14 phone. I am getting messages about my phone infected with viruses. Not sure what I should do
