There’s no such a thing as a hacked iphone unless you deliberately jailbreak it. There’re no malware, spyware or virus that can affect an iphone. You don’t need any antivirus for it. The only possible scams are phishing and cold calls scams that have nothing to do with malware.

You realize that you're having a forum chat with unknowns about tech issues, right?


If it were that easy to hack an iPhone, it would be big news. Unless you have jailbroken your phone or you are a high-profile activist, journalist of politician whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire, your phone has not been hacked.
