******Yes, the iPhone can be hacked-> fake wall charger*******
******Yes, apple sent out a update to stop this hack, but I was hacked in August/October*********

Why do I think this?
A Facebook app (with no name below it, and a darker blue, also wouldn't open) appeared next to my originally downloaded Facebook app.
-I have unlocked my phone while using a charger. I live with 3 roomates, and we don't get along to well.
I've searched and searched and came up with nothing.
Try turning it off then back on
I would say you just have to reset it to factory settings
You have been infected, that is for sure. If you plug your phone into a Mac, it should show the screen of your phone in the Mac screen. You can try wiping your iPhone, them resetting it. If you don't want to loose all your data, save everything onto any PC. Wipe your iPhone, then restart it. Download your files, and the virus should be gone!
Make an iCloud backup ONLY ICLOUD, reset to factory defaults, and then restore from iCloud. ICloud backups only store a list of apps from the app store you had (not the actual apps. That would take up too much space) and their save data. If you still experience wacky behavior your best bet is to reset completely.
Well yeah if you use a magical fake charger thats been rigged that way. Lol
In that case just restore to factory and use a regular charger after that, problem solved.
- Is my iphone broken and is there a virus on it or is it hacked? My phone is a iphone 8 and it is fairly new because I got it last year. When I call people, I can hear a echoing sound on the background of the iphone. When I use my phone to search on google, it is extremely slow. Also my battery depletes so fast and i always have to charge it.
- Is it possible to remove a virus from iPhone? I don't know whether I have a virus on my iPhone, there haven't been any signs… However I'm paranoid because I used to be oblivious and go on lots of random websites to watch films/programs while in bed. But now I use my iPhone for online banking so I'm paranoid. Is it possible to check for a virus on my iPhone or it is impossible to know? Thanks Also I don't want to infect my PC because I plug it in a lot to charge it.
- If an iPhone somehow got a virus, what would stop that virus from spreading to the recovery image? If an iPhone got a virus, couldn't it just spread to the recovery image? I don't mean where you connect the iPhone to your computer and restore through iTunes. I mean the restore image that is actually on the iPhone.
- I have a iPhone and my safari froze when a pop up asked me to call this number to get rid of a virus so I don't know if I have a virus or no? So today I was looking for music online and this pop up came up and froze my browser and it asked me to call this number but I didn't and hit cancel and cleared my history and I restarted my phone cause it acted slow so I don't know if I have a virus or not
