Can iphone be infected with virus.
Fortunately for Apple fans, iPhone viruses are extremely rare, but not unheard of.
While generally secure, one of the ways iPhones may become vulnerable to viruses is when they are ‘jailbroken’.
Jailbreaking an iPhone is a bit like unlocking it — but less legitimate. It involves obtaining root privileges which bypass the security restrictions that normally limit the operation of software on the device. Apple takes issue with jailbreaking and seeks to patch vulnerabilities in iPhones that allow it to happen.
The backstreet practice of jailbreaking iPhones gives users more control of the operating system. For example, the ability to customize how the system looks, delete pre-installed apps and download apps from places other than the App Store.
This may sound appealing but jailbreaking your iPhone may leave it less secure — there have been malicious programs that have affected jailbroken iPhones.
So, while the answer to the question “Can iPhones get viruses?” is ‘generally not’, iPhones have been known to get viruses, albeit rarely.
