pegasus is starting to make the rounds in social media again via credible news sources. There is an app to scan for it called iverify which only costs .99.
Im wondering if this is a native Apple app and if anybody has experience using it? I don’t think I’m compromised but for $1 it seems pretty reasonable to run a scan

No it is not. Instead that app is likely a scam designed to get money out of you. Why would even think that Pegasus is installed on your iPhone? Are you a political dissident, a controversial journalist, a person of interest to a government? You’ve read too many conspiracy theories about this issue.
Nope. Pegasus is incredibly expensive. It is not "making the rounds".
The "news sources" claiming it is are not "credible".
The app to scan for it is a rip off.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
Pegasus costs over one hundred thousand dollars for attempting to access one phone. If you don't have anything on your device worth that kind of investment, you aren't a target.
If by 'native' you mean written by Apple, no.
It is not a 'native' app. It's garbage. All it's going to do is lighten your wallet.

The news source you noted has long been known to be highly critical of Apple and its products. It isn't unusual for them to push scare topics like this.
Pegasus was patched last September for iPhones, why are you even asking this question?
Has my phone been compromised?
