Update iOS regularly.


If you are a VIP then consider enabling Lockdown mode on your iPhone if you suspect you might be a target of Pegasus or similar spyware.(This limits certain features but enhances security)


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be infected** with Viruses / Malware / Spyware unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken



**The primary reason for this is Sandboxing. All third-party apps are “sandboxed”, so they are restricted from accessing files stored by other apps or from making changes to the device. Sandboxing is designed to prevent apps from gathering or modifying information stored by other apps.
