Is it possible for an iPhone to become compromised?

I accidently clicked on a sketchy link to a website in a message from a social media app. The link opened up in Safari and was just blank.  I just want to know if it would be possible for my phone to be hacked. And if so, what can I do to remove any malware. Thank you.

not unless it's jail broken
the whole app store way iOS handle things mean that you can only! get new software into the device
from app store not from websites not from mails software include malware

  • Is it possible for and iPhone 4 to get a virus?

    Is it possible for an iPhone 4 to get a virus? If so how would you remove it ? My mother was told she had a virus on her iPhone 4. In my experiences with the iPhone I have never seen this! She has the 4 with the latest update for them.

    How was she told she has a virus? Sometimes bad people send texts or emails to someone saying they have a virus or other problem with their device, hoping the user will fall for the trap and give away personal information or passwords, or will buy some unneeded product. These are called "phishing" messages. That's most likely what happened.
    While in theory any computing device could be attacked by a virus, worm or other malware, there are currently no known threats to iPhones.

    The battery percentage indicator needs to be calibrated. For that, you need to drain down the battery way to 3-4% and charge it back to 100% without any interruptions. Let it get charged for 15 min more even if it's showing that it's fully charged and can be disconnected. No hardware problems as such!

  • Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

    As has been said, the iPhone itself can't be hacked this way, as far as anyone currently knows.
    Your Apple ID is another story. Any kind of online accounts can be hacked, and Apple IDs are no exception. If someone hacks your Apple ID, they could see all the data in the associated iCloud account, such as contacts, and could send those contacts texts that would appear to come from you. If that were to happen, you should see an alert on your other devices that your Apple ID is being used with Messages on a new device.
    If you have not seen that alert, it's unlikely that this problem is occurring due to such a hack. In that case, it would be more likely that either someone has gotten their hands on your phone, or some other Apple device registered to your Apple ID, and has used it to send that message. Or that the person claiming you sent a picture is lying for some reason.
    If you believe your Apple ID may have been hacked, you should change your password immediately (at appleid.apple.com). You should also seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID.

    Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
    I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
    I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
    Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
    Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone.

  • Is It Possible For An iPhone To Get A Virus?

    I'm just curious about this, i'm sure many people are too. Is it possible? I personally don't think so since Apple has such tight security. Example: Most, if not all apps (i'm not sure on this) can only be downloaded through the App Store, which Apple has to approve of first. You can't just go to a website and download anything on your phone, eliminating virus risk from web browsing. And email is on your phone, so that wouldn't be easy to hack. Not to mention countless firewalls. So is it possible? I've never heard of it. (this being for non-jailbroken devices which (jailbreaking) may not me discussed)

    No, iPhones/iPads can't get viruses.

  • Is it possible for an iphone to get a virus from the computer?

    let's say a computer has a virus and you connected your iphone to that computer. is it possible that the virus will transfer/replicate from the computer to the iphone?

    You will get a lot of no answers to this.
    With that said, I will say no too, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. As time has taught everyone, no device (computer, phone, etc) is safe. Currently as designed there isn't any way for one to infect the phone from just plugging in the phone by the nature of how it all works, however, that doesn't mean one day somebody can find some flaw and release one. Just currently there is nothing. You are more likely to get something from just browsing the web on the phone or being on somebody's wifi network and them exploiting some other security flaw.
    While all known flaws are patched (if you are up to date) that doesn't mean another one won't be found.

  • Is it possible for visa/labview to become confused?

    I have an application that uses visa serial comms to read  quartzdyne sensors from a Qlink module. Two sensors are used. Each sensor measures both P and T. After approx 30 mins of operation it was noted/logged that Sensor A’s value reverts to sensor B’s labiew indicator, and sensors B’s values reverts to A’s indicators in labview. Like labview has becomes confused and swapped them over!
    It reverted when labview was momentarily unable to read sensors A; the value was displayed in labview as ‘0’. I can live with a momentary loss, however i cant live with the values swapping over like that.
    Is this something anyone has came across before?

    The delay is not the most reliable way to handle such situations.
    Does the messages sent from the devices have some identifier?
    Or you could read a specific number of characters, or up until a message seperator.

  • Is it possible for an iPhone 3GS to charge without being plugged in?

    When I turned off my phone, it was at 60% power. The day after, I turned it on and it was at 80%. This is NOT a joke. What happened?

    The battery percentage indicator needs to be calibrated. For that, you need to drain down the battery way to 3-4% and charge it back to 100% without any interruptions. Let it get charged for 15 min more even if it's showing that it's fully charged and can be disconnected. No hardware problems as such!

  • Is it possible for my email to be hacked through my phone and pictures to be sent

    Is it possible for my iPhone to be hacked and messages to be sent out through my email attaching pictures to the sent message?

    Not unless your phone is jailbroken. It is possible for email to be hacked, but not directly on the phone, it would be through the server. Of course, if someone had possession of your device, they could get into your mail.

  • I am looking to upgrade to a new iPhone.  Is it possible to then disable the phone capabilities of my old phone so I can give it to my teen for use as an iTouch?  or does the old iPhone just become unusable which would be such a waste.

  • Is it possible for Apple to unlock my iPhone?

    My iPhone apparently has a SimLock for Vodafone Germany. My two years of contracet with Vodafone Germany (required minimum time to be able to get it unlocked from Vodafone) are over.
    Now my problem is as I had my iPhone swaped at the AppleStore so Vodafone can not unlock my iPhone because it is not an IMEI that they have in their systhem. Apple tells me that I have to talk to Vodafone. Now what Vodafone suggested is that they send me a certificat saying that I can have my iPhone unlocked and that I go do it at the AppleStore if that is possible. So that is actually my question: is it possible for me to get y iPhone unlocked at the AppleStore with the certificat from Vodafone?
    Thanks for any help
    And one other thing... I was on an Apple site (I can not find it anymore) where I was in contact with an Apple support member via Chat. Does anyone know how to get to that site?
    Thanks again

    Apple cannot unlock your iPhone via any "certificate". The only way it works is that the carrier generates an electronic unlock authorization which goes though Apple's automated process to get sent to iTunes on your computer. Sorry, but Vodaphone will have to figure out the IMEI issue on their end, and if they can't, then you probably will not be able to get your iPhone unlocked.
