If you're referring to a message about malware or viruses and didn't just upload a file, it's a scam.

If you're referring to a message about malware or viruses and did just upload a file, delete that file or scan it on a computer.

If you're referring to biological viruses, wipe its surface down.

First the real question is what makes you think your iPhone has viruses? iPhones aren’t even susceptible to viruses.


If you encountered a pop up or link claiming your iPhone has viruses, those are merely scam attempts. Trying to get you to purchase unnecessary software or give them your personal information.
