Does my phone actually have a virus?

I keep getting emails saying I have two viruses. I also tried to go on a website to look at an obituary and it said the same thing.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Those emails and /or messages that you might receive are SCAMS designed to try to scare or trick you into believing there is a problem with your phone when there isn't.


Typically, all these scams want to do is sell you useless software that will waste your money and do nothing good for your phone. Ignore them....or laugh at them if you prefer.


Delete any emails or messages that you might see like this and get back to work.
