• Check Battery Usage (which app has a virus & is draining more battery)

To check for viruses on your iPhone, look for unusual behavior like battery drain, overheating, or pop-ups. Check for unknown apps and remove suspicious ones. Update iOS regularly, clear Safari history, and review app permissions. If problems persist, back up your data and reset the iPhone to factory settings. Avoid third-party antivirus apps and don’t jailbreak your device, as it weakens security.

1. Update iOS – Keep your phone secure with the latest updates (Settings > General > Software Update).
2. Check for weird apps – Delete any apps you don’t remember downloading.
3. Look for odd behavior – Slow performance, pop-ups, or battery drain could mean trouble.
4. Scan with an antivirus – Try free apps like Malwarebytes from the App Store.
5. Clear browser junk – Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Data.
6. Reset if needed – Backup and factory reset as a last resort (Settings > General > Reset).

To find viruses on iPhone, one needs to be keen on unusual behavior such as of having apps crashing, rapid battery drain or pop-up ads. Update iOS, remove suspicious apps, and clear browsing data. If you are using an iPhone, then chances of getting a virus are minimal as long as Apple’s security is concerned but restoring the device might help in case of continued problems.

The first action that you may take to scan for viruses on your iPhone is to look for new, unfamiliar applications therein and to find out whether sudden uses of data are detected. You can also get a good security app from the App Store, which can scan your system and provide instructions on how you can clear your browsing history and website data.

Watch out for abnormal behavior (pop-ups, crash), uninstall shady apps and update iOS. Trusted applications such as Malwarebytes may also be used for additional scans.
