We’ve always heard that the iPhone is the most secure smartphone on the market. For sure. In fact, it is practically impossible to catch a virus on an iPhone, but sometimes it does happen. In 99% of these cases It is usually due to human error on the part of its owneralthough sometimes errors are discovered which hackers take advantage of despite how quickly Apple fixes them.
Sometimes these are apps that may seem like they have good intentions, but are real portals to evil. In the App Store it is perhaps a little more controlled than in Android because the review process for each is manual by a company software engineer, but there are two types of apps you should consider uninstalling from your iPhone to avoid any issues.
Beware of “optimizers” and space cleaners
If you’ve ever felt like your iPhone wasn’t performing optimally, you may have I thought about installing one of these third-party optimization apps. Personally, I think it’s better to follow the advice given by Apple in these cases, because they know their own operating system much better than a study outside the company.
We wouldn’t be entirely wrong to say that these apps take advantage of the ignorance and uncertainty of many users. Most iPhone owners aren’t as tech-savvy as a regular Applesfera drive, and nor do they have the criteria to discern whether something is really useful or not. In no case is it your fault, far from it, but it is good to prevent in these cases.
One of the clearest examples of this is CleanMyMac. Almost all of us are familiar with this application that claims to keep our Apple computer free from viruses, junk files, etc. I am not a developer and I don’t know how true or not
Precautions should be taken in all cases. Problems abound especially among these types of apps, but they are not the only ones. Beware of people asking for more permissions than usual, or ask nonsense. For example, if you download a timer app and it asks for access to your camera, microphone, or photos, beware. Rest assured that as long as you don’t grant them, you will be safe, but you better be vigilant and ultimately eliminate it.
The iPhone is the most secure commercial smartphone on the market, but you have to be careful. Most hacks are caused by human error on the part of the victim., not because the software failed. Never download apps outside of the App Store unless you know the source is trustworthy, and always be careful about the permissions you grant. Ask yourself if they are necessary, and if they are not and it seems suspicious, it is better not to risk it. Another application is probably doing the same thing as the one you wanted to install.
