Hi, I downloaded the Rave App on apple store about two years ago i’ve never really used it except for the first month. Today i read some articles and protection sites that have stated that the rave app has a trojan and is infected with malware. Should i be scared? Could it be my iPhone is infected?

Original Title: Malware on Iphone?
iPhone 16, iOS 18
No, your phone is not infected. You can delete the app any time you want if you never use it, and installing it on the iPhone will not install any additional Malware. The reports I have seen about the Rave app and malware were related to a Windows install where Microsoft Defender had labeled it as a Trojan. Whether Microsoft Defender labelled it incorrectly or not, makes no difference on your iPhone.
It is also the latest TikTok claim that is designed solely for likes and clicks. Unfortunately fear mongering is quite successful when it comes to Social Media.

NO, there are no known hack/malware/spyware/virus for a non jailbroken phone.
Is my iPhone infected with malware from the Rave App?
