Your phone can’t get a virus. It’s in your website data because at some point since the last time you cleared website data (which might have been years ago) either you used it or a text, email, or perhaps another website embedded it. It’s nothing to worry about. There are probably dozens or hundreds of URLs in your website data that you don’t recognize.


Any time you view a website it is likely that the site pulls in content from other sites to render the page. Every one of those sites will appear in your website data.
