This is not the truth at all. My iPhone is not jailbroken & I have a confirmed virus on my phone. They said it probably came thru an

email. Seeing this reply angers me, cuz I was told this lie over & over. Until one day I took my phone in to a computer store & it was finally confirmed that indeed I had a virus on my IPhone XR. So please, stop saying this!
