Apple checks it for you, using the built-in anti-malware.


Add-on apps from the app store cannot scan your iPhone, though some can scan your network traffic.


There are various scam ads and scam websites and scam pop-ups claiming to run scans — they cannot — and there are various spam mail messages — the “pervert” spam among them — making false claims about device access and compromising photos and videos.


There is malware for iPhone, but it is immensely valuable, rare, and targeted, based on available information. If you are an investigative journalist, political dissident, senior in business or private or government organizations, with access to sensitive or classified information, active in military or defense, or having deeply peeved an immensely rich individual or organization, you might want to discuss your security with a specialist. For the rest of us, the built-in anti-malware and apps only from the app store are fine.
