Sean Keach , Head of Technology and Science Published : 16:30, 2 Sep 2023 IPHONE owners should regularly check for red flags that their devices are infected with a virus. That's the advice from cyber experts who say there are seven common signs that an iPhone has been infected with malware. 1 Keep your iPhone safe from danger Credit: Apple Apple's smartphones are generally considered to be very safe with strong anti-malware protections. But it's still possible for an iPhone to be attacked with dangerous software created by cybercriminals. In an official memo, cybersecurity giant McAfee has revealed the common signs that your phone is infected with malware. "If you receive a demand for a cryptocurrency ransom and you've lost control of your phone, it's safe to say that you've been hacked," McAfee said. "In other cases, the signs of a malware attack or iPhone virus might be more subtle." Warning signs of a virus According to McAfee, there are seven signs to look out for. First up is your iPhone is running slower or the battery is draining more quickly. The second is when your web browser is taking you to websites that you didn't mean to visit. Third is when your apps are constantly crashing, or you notice apps that you don't remember installing. Fourth is spotting a sudden increase in your data usage or calls made on your phone bill. Fifth is infection warnings on your iPhone that suggest buying or subscribing to something to fix the problem. Sixth is if you're struggling to properly shut down or restart your device. And seventh is when you notice an increasing number of pop-up ads in your web browser. These signs aren't hard proof that your device is infected, of course. But if you notice one or more, it's worth investigating to make sure you don't have anything dangerous installed on your iPhone.
