Is that possible???

I'm not sure that I understand what you're describing. If you're asking if the wire itself can somehow store and transmit malware, the answer is a definitive NO. You can use your friend's charging cable as much as you like.

However, there have been cases of malware that infected Mac or Windows computers, and then transferred iOS malware to devices that were connected to the infected computer. This is rare, but has happened. Thus, you should never connect your iPhone to an untrusted computer, with any cable.

Hi

1 not,s Not possible

2 unless they are jailbreak apple devices do not get a virus

Tell your friend to go to iCloud make sure iCloud back up is on Then backup now to iCloud Over wifi

then go to settings down to reset Restore iPhone back to factory settings

Then set back up over wifi when it asks if you want to use iCloud backup Say yes to get your apps and data back.

Cheers

Are you somehow connecting the two iPhones to each other via a cable? If so, that is not a supported configuration, and I doubt there's any malware out there that could make that jump. It would be pointless to even write such malware, since I've never before heard of anyone connecting iPhones in this manner.

If you are connecting one iPhone to another, that's a quite poor way to charge your iPhone. You'd end up, at the very best, depleting one full iPhone to half charge while only raising the other iPhone to half charge, assuming this even works in the first place. I do not believe it's supported, and it could void your warranty.

If you're not connecting the iPhones to each other, you're going to need to give us more details about your concerns, as I cannot think of any other possibility that hasn't already been answered.

I seriously doubt that's necessary, but I can't make sense of what you're telling us, so I can't be sure. If it gives you peace of mind, go for it.

There are no viruses that affects devices.

There is no way to pass anything at all from charging, other than an electrical charge.

This is not actually true. There is iOS malware, though it's rare. It almost always requires that the phone be jailbroken in advance... but not always. There have been cases of iOS devices contracting malware by connecting to an infected Mac or Windows computer. Again, that's rare.

I seriously doubt that any of these things are actually the case here, but we should not sugarcoat it, and deny things that are possible and do happen.

That is not possible, nor is it possible for an iPhone to get a virus or malware unless the device had been jailbroken or hacked.

That's what it means. Even if your friend had jailbroken their phone, using their charging cable couldn't have done any harm to your phone.

Yes.

No.
