Q: Is trusting huawei safe?

From where did you download these apps? If you downloaded them from anywhere but the App Store, no, it may not be safe. Delete the apps.

If you have a jailbroken phone, your phone might not be safe and dowloaded from sites other than the Apple store.

HI,

its was downloaded from the Internet, Vshare, may have jailbroke the phone.

If the phone is jailbroken nothing on it is secure or safe. Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issu…

HI,

i downloaded vshare and movie box . It asks me to trust huawei and that my data will be shared by them. Is that safe?

You should never install anything from any web site using the untrusted enterprise deployment exploit method to bypass the Apple App Store for their products. Ask yourself, if their products were trustworthy and worth anything, why wouldn't they just put them up in the App Store in the first place?

Is there a way to un do the jail break? Just delete the app that was downloaded?

I dont know whether you jailbroke your device or not. As I said, those apps may be installed on some versions of iOS by bypassing the trust security setting of an enterprise deployment. Only you know exactly what steps you took to get that content on there. The only way to be sure you've removed everything potentially harmful would be to force the device into recovery mode and do a complete erase and install as a new device in iTunes. Then set everything back up manually, or from a backup you made before messing with vShare.

To start clean, shut down the device, open iTunes on you computer, then plug in the device to the computer and hold the home button while it starts up. It should go into recovery mode and you can then setup as new from iTunes.

In addition to the issues discussed, to answer your original question, the US Government has banned the use of all Huawei software and hardware products by government agencies because they are suspected of containing spyware. 'nuff said?

Thx. I will start clean but noticed my iCloud back up is off, not sure how or for how long. Is it safe to turn that on, just to back up calendar, notes, contacts and photos? Then start clean recovery?

No, with any operating system if you suspect malware, spyware, trojans and whatnot, or even just corrupted settings or system files then you do NOT want to restore from a backup of the suspect system. All that would accomplish is possible reinstalling the very things you're trying to rid your self of.  The whole point is that by installing suspect apps or content, you now have no way of knowing what goes into your own backups anymore, and thus what actually restores from them.

Tthe only way to be 100% sure it is a clean install is to delete everything and reinstall iOS from Apple via iTunes.  Then add apps and content back from trusted sources only - the Apple App Store.  If your calendars, notes, and contacts were being sync'd to iCloud (they are NOT part of an iCloud backup) then you can re-sync them when you setup your iCloud account in the now cleanly installed system.

Are your contacts sync'd to iCloud?  If so, they'll sync back. The photos I don't know what to suggest - get a free Dropbox account and dump those in camera roll up there?
