Can an iPhone be hacked?

Yes. There are lots of ways to hack into an iPhone, either intentionally (like jailbreaking) or maliciously (via stolen passwords, phishing sites, spyware, social engineering, and other methods). Thankfully, there are a few easy ways to ensure your iPhone remains safe and sound from these kinds of attacks.

How do I know if my iPhone has a virus?

An iPhone virus — or any kind of iPhone malware — is a rare thing. Detecting iPhone malware might be easy if its effects are obvious, such as constant crashing or freezing, overheating, or increased data usage and battery brain. Other types of malware are designed to evade detection. With AVG Mobile Security, you won’t have to worry about catching malware in the first place, because we scan web pages and routers that might put your device at risk.

Is AVG Mobile Security a free security app for iPhone?

Yes, it’s free. You can immediately protect your iPhone from common online threats with our virus detection technology. There’s also a 14-day free trial for AVG Mobile Security PRO so you can try out premium features, like the VPN, Photo Vault to secure all your photos, and Identity Protection to monitor your email addresses 24/7 for any identity leaks.

What else can I do to keep my iPhone safe?

Here are some simple steps you can take to protect your data and keep your iPhone safe:

• Always update your apps and operating system.
• Use secure messaging apps.
• Use a secure VPN for iOS devices.
• Use strong, unique passwords stored in a password manager to protect your accounts.
• Use a secure browser that protects your online privacy.
