Is there an iPhone antivirus App?

Ignore the alert - it is a scam. As has been stated, there are no known viruses in the wild that affect iOS devices, unless you have jailbroken your iPhone.

You can report the phishing attempt by following the instructions in this support article: Identify and report phishing communications - Apple Support

Regardless of outdated sayings there is a problem with iOS security , I've had first hand knowledge of. Seeing it in action from the spies view and from the spied ins view . My ex business partner used to spy on his misses at home while he was at work via his Mac sat at home , he could watch on his iPhone secretly through the webcam on the Mac and the light of operation didn't come on either ... When I split with him I had a feeling he'd key logged my Mac book so I set up a test , I arranged some thing on my Mac book that he couldn't help but use to try And get me into trouble, straight away I was getting trouble come back to me , THE IOS CAN HAVE MALWARE PROBLEMS LEADING TO A MASSIVE SECURITY BREACH ?! THE ONES BORN EVERY MINUTE ARE THE NON BELIEVERS THAT MALWARE EXISTS FOR THE IOS!!!

I don't agree with jailbreaking iPhones BUT unless there is malware detection app for all the apple items it may well be the only option to protect ones self as spyware does exist and the notion that iOS is completely safe is no more than a myth

Which is not an indication that there is a vulnerability in iOS. It means that he was able to install something on the computer, which, if he has access to it, would't be that difficult.

As has been explained to you in the thread you started, there is very little danger that your iPhone will be compromised as long as you do not allow anyone to have access to it while it's unlocked.

Nothing in this world is completely safe, but as it stands currently, there is no known virus, malware or spyware that can be installed on non-jailbroken iOS devices.

So jailbreaking an iOS device to install software to protect against something that can only be installed if the device is jailbroken seems a tad silly.

Why do you want an App that needs the device to be altered in such a way as to be exposed to the very things its trying to protect it against?

In other words no. Until such time as a virus, malware or spyware is found on a non-jailbroken device the best bet is to leave the device as is. Malware detection apps are not required if there's nothing for them to detect.

It's like getting a heart transplant when there is nothing wrong with your heart, simply because its possible you may develop a heart condition later in life even though there is no history of heart disease in your family at all. But because heart disease is a thing affecting others you figure you may as well get a heart transplant now.

Spyware can only exist on jailbroken phones. So if you jailbreak it to install a malware detection app you have already compromised the built in security that is proof against malware.

Yes, spyware exists. NO, it cannot exist on an unjailbroken iOS device.

Windows has far less security in place to prevent 3rd party developers from distributing potentially dangerous software, and in order to foster a greater development of apps Android historically has had no responsible securities limits in place. Apple iPhones and iOS devices at this time only need to not be jailbroken to prevent infection by malicious software. iOS development has a very strict set of preventative measures when it comes to this.

NONSENSE I HAVE BRAND NEW 7 and just had to trade old 7 in cause it was hacked

You shouldn't have jailbroken it, then. There are no viruses in the wild for iOS devices. PERIOD.

What do you mean you had to "trade" the old 7? Trade it how? Where did you get it? What did you do to it? How did you break it?

How on brAnd new device iPhone 7

It's not possible to have a virus on a brand new, unmodified iPhone 7. There may well have been something wrong with your phone. You are, however, wrong about what it was.

If iPhones could be easily hacked the FBI would not have paid $900,000 to a security firm to hack one iPhone.

Yup,

Also of note, is that the firm that was paid to do this had to have the iPhone in their possession for several weeks before they could get in.

It's not something that can happen remotely in 5 minutes.

If the iPhone is jailbroken, then all bets are off as anything can happen then.

Apple themselves just allows a hackers change my settings!! 2 factors authentication was turned on and I didn't do it!! Hackers can hack anyone! Don't put credit information on your iPhone 📱 warning you with kindness 🌹👏-1F3FB;

The iPhone has not had a virus. If there's any anti-malware apps out there, they're a waste of time and money.

Is there an anti malware App for the iPhone?

Even if there were, it wouldn't work on a non-jailbroken iPhone, as the app simply wouldn't have access to the iOS to do anything.

Jailbreaking simply means that the phone firmware is modified allowing third party applications to be installed, ones that are not blessed by Apple. This also invalidates your warranty, so dont go there!! You can get a firewall for the iphone but it has to be jailbroken to work. Dont think I've heard of any iPhones with viruses so you should rest easy! Hope this helps?
