How To Check iPhone for Viruses and Malware and Remove Them

  • Let me show you how to check your iPhone for viruses, malware, or spam.
    Once you do a scan and search, you can easily remove viruses or malware from your iPhone.
    I should mention that this is very rare, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
    Let’s begin by clearing history and website data in your iPhone settings.
    Then, check your battery usage and see if any apps are using an unusual amount of batteries. If so, delete and reinstall the app and just remove it permanently.
    Update any app that has an update available.
    Finally, a common issue related to malware is with calendar subscriptions. But you can remove these from the calendar application.
    You can also check your iPhone usage and see if there is a lot of memory being used. This is not related to viruses or malware but may explain why your iPhone is acting a certain way.
