How do I get rid of a virus?

My phone has been going black and freezing the screen so i can’t tap it (or like losing sensitivity in the screen) and i can’t do anything with it. And then every 24ish hours it acts perfectly fine for like 10 minutes and then it acts weird again, i don’t know what virus it is or how i got it. But if anyone has any suggestions of something that might help i would really appreciate it. (i’ve tried restarting it and doing a factory reset, it didn’t make it go away)

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Users see something they don't understand and jump to the wrong conclusions.


Your phone does not have a virus, but the screen is very likely beginning to fail.


Make an appointment at the Apple Store or visit an authorized Apple service shop to get the phone checked and tested.


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