Will disabling Lockdown Mode eradicate viruses?
My obsessive ex-friend indicated to me that he read my Whatsapp chats without my consent by giving specific information. I never allow anyone have access to my phone. I am very strict when it comes to passwords or giving phone to someone.
During confrontation, he laughed about how he knows what he read and continued to spy on my phone despite resetting all passwords everywhere (Apple ID, Facebook, Gmail..). My phone began to act weirdly at the moment I found out that he spied on my phone, such as the battery suddenly dropping very quickly and being heated. Whatsapp blocked users were strangely unblocked. I blocked users again, and it was lifted the next day including himself, as if someone had access to my phone. These unusual occurrences became quite repetitive over the course of four days. Although turning the Verification Code on in Whatsapp helped and blocked users were no longer unblocked. My phone was still having issues. I found out I had two icons in "Find my Phone", one unknown and one was my phone. This is how I could find out he was monitoring my phone through his phone.
I had no option but to use the extreme option which is turning Lockdown Mode on. It made a huge difference and I was no longer experiencing any issues. The battery rarely drains and no longer heats. My ex-friend, I suspect, either installed a virus on my phone or used spy applications.
I'd like to turn Lockdown Mode off someday, and my question is, if I do turn Lockdown Mode off, will viruses still be planted on my phone? I'm not sure if enabling Lockdown Mode remove viruses or hidden spy apps.
