Not quite sure how to safely remove viruses
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 18
First the real question is what makes you think your iPhone has viruses? iPhones aren’t even susceptible to viruses.
If you encountered a pop up or link claiming your iPhone has viruses, those are merely scam attempts. Trying to get you to purchase unnecessary software or give them your personal information.
If you're referring to a message about malware or viruses and didn't just upload a file, it's a scam.
If you're referring to a message about malware or viruses and did just upload a file, delete that file or scan it on a computer.
If you're referring to biological viruses, wipe its surface down.
