Many users of Apple devices brag that their devices are not like Android and Windows, which are a breeding ground and a fertile field for viruses of every kind. Even one of the first applications that we install on the Windows system is protection programs, and it is not possible in any way to imagine Windows without a protection program despite the presence of a firewall. Live on him. As for Android, you will find us very careful, and Google constantly announces the deletion of thousands of applications from the store because of the malicious programs they contain. But in the case of Apple's systems, especially iOS, we find that we are protected against these threats. Is this real? Why is it immune to viruses?
It is known to everyone that viruses are nothing but malicious programs, and these programs have several names, including:
Malware Or malware, a virus that usually infects computers by installing a program bombed with malicious software, then this program spreads in the system by repeating itself. Then you move from one device to another. These programs were widely spread in the past years and we were exposed to them all. But there are those who are more common today, such as:
Adware, They are programs bombed with advertisements. It is very common these days, especially on untrusted sites.
spywareIt is a spyware and this software monitors your data and sends it to advertising companies. These programs are classified as security-compromised programs, and often no one knows that they have been infected by them because they will not tell you that they are stealing your data.
RansomwareA malicious program that restricts your access to the operating system, encrypts all files on the hard drive and then demands that you pay an amount of money to decrypt your device and restore your files.
So, is there such software on iOS or even other viruses? And what does Apple's system do to keep you safe from this malware? The answer is there is no such software or other types of virus on iOS at all. The reason for this is due to the following:
Control the app store
Apple deals with the applications on its store on the principle of "the walled grove", and this method keeps the user completely safe. There is no way to install iOS apps except through the AppStore. Unlike the Android system, you can download apps from outside the Orchard Wall.
Apple reviews applications manually by its developers. Hence if any malicious code or code is detected, the application will be rejected. Everything in the software store is now completely safe and if an error occurs from the reviewers and an incorrect application is published, it will be deleted quickly.
Sandboxing system
In short, this name means that no application exceeds its limits. No application is allowed to access data from other applications. In addition, the applications run within limited spaces on the iOS operating system that cannot be bypassed. It is not allowed to access the administrator, which is called the root in Android systems, and therefore the application cannot change or modify anything in the system settings and cause harm. . You can find out more details on this topic through this link
Periodic updates
We spoke about this point again and again, and we said that Apple issues successive updates to block and secure security patches. The latest version often has the highest percentage of its advantages, on top of which is the increased security layers.
There is no doubt that there are desperate attempts to penetrate the iOS system. There are examples of some of these programs having existed in past years. But those problems were soon resolved by Apple.
◉ In early 2017, WikiLeaks published information that the US CIA had used methods and software to break into iOS devices, but Apple quickly plugged and corrected those vulnerabilities.
◉ In September 2015, Apple revealed that hundreds of Chinese-made apps contained malicious code as they relied on a modified version of the Xcode development environment known as XcodeGhost. And these apps have been removed from the app store completely.
◉ Before iOS 10.3, the Safari app was not immune to pop-ups, and as a result some malicious websites put a message on the browser stating that the browser is closed and you have to write someone asking you to pay to unlock it. This problem was overcome in a timely manner by clearing the browser cache to return to work again, and then Apple corrected these flaws in the following updates.
◉ Xsser mRAT was one of the malicious Trojans that infect lost devices and expose their data and information, and that problem was also corrected.
Your device may have some problems that you think at first glance are viruses or malware, but viruses and malware are innocent of these problems. Such as slow performance, failure of some applications that were not compatible with new updates, and other problems.
It is evident from the above that iOS is well immune to viruses, so there is no need to install security apps that have lost their purpose. In general, Apple prevented this type of application from being available in its store.
Jailbreaking and jailbreaking
Of course, all of the above is for natural devices. As for the jailbroken devices, they are treated like Windows or Android, where you can download any application from anywhere, as well as some applications can access the system files itself, thus exposing your phone to danger. Therefore, we always advise to avoid it, or to take caution. Otherwise, the iOS system has a solid protection that is difficult to penetrate, and if some weaknesses appear, Apple will quickly correct them. Rest assured, V-Funk is safe.
Have you ever searched for virus protection applications in the Apple Store? And do you feel really safe from it with iOS? Share your opinion

Why was the feature of forwarding messages from WhatsApp suspended on the Broadcast?
You with Apple feel safe and you always notice it in the updates issued by Apple, as it is a company that respects its customers, unlike other companies that failed to even imitate Apple 😉👍👍
Thanks for the obvious bias
Thanks Thank you for the review 🤕
Apple users no longer have anything but this drum to drum on it (security) 😂😂😂 By God, God willing, the Android P system will blow this drum for you, and we get rid of your application Knowing that anything that connects to the Internet is hackable if it has XNUMX protection applications and the source is suspended 😂😂 😂
I only buy iPhones for this reason, which is because they are protected devices
Of course, there are some applications that request access to contacts, photos, camera, or else I am sure that they sell the data you get to advertising companies.
The iOS system that thought evens out its shape is complex with life. The whole iOS system is complicated, I mean, if you want to add something that must be complicated by the complexity, such as a ringtone on the mobile, you must apply GarageBand another application and not with iTunes or the music application that is not useful in the first place all with money, nor if you want to add music, you must iTunes, everything is complicated. I personally hated iOS completely, but I am a user only because of VoiceOver. It is complicated. Shortening my words is as if you were in the room sitting around the door to go out and move the room iOS the same thing
????????
Steve is really a complex, controlling, and commanding person who imposes what he wants and loves to control others, and is always the standard of the world between him and his colleagues at work, and his personality was a main reason for choosing a closed system, because he hated that someone changes something in the system or controls it, and I remember what I read in his biography that he He was defending himself and his imposition of his control and said that the user originally did not understand or know where his interest is, or something similar to that !! Of course, I remember my shock when I read this thing, but I forgot the sentence verbatim
Some of Yvonne Islam's articles and the comments excite me that I am re-reading Steve's biography again
With all due respect to all, to all opinions, and to the author ... there is no such thing as complete protection. All types of operating systems can be penetrated for all types of devices, such as phones and computers, and in minutes that do not exceed the number of fingers on the hands
Accept my opinion and experience in this field
I say without drumming, he said, Weis said, I cannot prove a program except in the App Store. This is a long time. Now, in the Plus programs, there are other stores, the important thing is not to raise the level of Apple above one, Apple respectfully. Failed Tim Cook Fashion Wayne Hiam Steve Jobs God Mercy of him, a closed iOS system is the biggest issue that is in trouble, hahahaha, two months ago, it became a one-letter problem, crashing iOS in full, in iOS, nine video, complete system failure, he said.
Greetings, everyone, thank you
Believe me, if the Russian hacker put Apple in their heads to penetrate it easily
There are high capabilities among Russian hackers that are not found in the rest of the world
I would have liked that the article would include macOS as well, and as you know that iOS does not need to talk about security issues and the strength of protection in it, and by the way, any old and (good) follower of the iPhone Islam site will say to himself from the beginning of reading the article (as if I had read this article earlier) But in the manner of (reformulation).
In any case, recently, I began to be convinced of the new Android system, especially on modern Samsung devices, which appears at a decent and professional level.
One of the main reasons that obligate Apple device users to stay on their Apple devices and continue to use them, undoubtedly, is the iCloud service and integrated services, which will save all data and synchronize with other devices.
I see that the Android system is amazing despite the fact that the iOS system is mighty.
I wish I had a documented article on macOS as it's just as important as iOS.
As for the article, I think that it is useful and blurs the suspicion towards the strength of security in the iOS system, although the danger of some software is superior to the iOS system by some absurd software that intends to destroy or collapse the system without the desired benefit towards the programmer…! Such as the Hindi message and the absurd links in its judgment.
It was noticed recently about news and alerts about the WhatsApp hacking process, and the question here is, is the intended WhatsApp installed on Android or added to the iOS system?
It was also noted that this issue was not addressed in the article, leaving behind you a gray area regarding WhatsApp hacks via links.
In conclusion, we thank the author of the article for the good enrichment.
thank you
MacOS is like Linux and Windows, the difference is only viruses on Mac (and Linux) are much less than Windows because they have little market share compared to Windows. Therefore, virus developers (and effective viruses take effort and effort to develop) target Windows not to target a larger segment.
May God reward you
My friend bought a Huawei Mate 10 Lite
And download applications from within the Play Store only
A few days ago, his device appeared in adware in a large way
Android owners can you answer?
Where did this adware come from
If you put you in a room without doors and without windows, then you are protected, as well as Apple treats you. As for Android, it puts windows and doors for you, and the choice is for you to open the door to whom you trust, or open the door to all people (applications), then you are the one who bears the responsibility, but in Apple, on the contrary, dealing with you is worse than dealing with a child The child is given a little breather and a kind of responsibility, but with Apple, excuse me for the analogy. Dealing with you like an animal closes you on every side so as not to cause harm to yourself or to others, and I would like to comment at the end of the article on the day I likened the protection to jailbreak as the protection with Android devices, meaning frankly, I don’t know what to say is it prejudice Or ignorance. In conclusion, I like to say Apple devices are better in privacy in stages, because they do not have Google, but in protection the same I explained at the beginning. You are locked from all sides, you are like a prisoner. Thank you.
Like Abdulrahman
It is true, my brother Abdul Rahman, I largely agree with you, as the Apple system offers high security and protection, but in return it imposes many restrictions on its users.
The user is restricted and it is true, but this is how the closed system is!
If the user had been given freedom, he would not have differed from the open system by anything!
It is true, but I compared in terms of protection between closed and open, why in the article there was confusion between restriction and protection, as restriction does not mean protection and openness does not mean security weakness, but on the contrary, openness means more safety in terms of open sources and knowledge of what is going on behind applications in the background and freedom of choice in everything. Of course, I repeat, you bear the consequences of your choices
Despite the many problems of the ios system, what makes me bear the most with its problems and provocation is only security, and this is what connects me most to the Apple system and prevents me from moving to the wonderful Android system, I admit that the Android system and about a new experience with it has become safer than before, but not as strong as ios security
I have used ios since the iPhone 4 and I have never suffered during this period, thank God, from any problem with safety at all, as for the Android system, it has two experiences, the first is before I moved to the iOS system, but it is a reason for my transfer to it, and it was my worst experience with safety in general. Every two days, the third is hacking, viruses are 24 hours and Mawal Tawyil. As for my second experience with him, it is from a year to now. The system has become more secure than before, but ios is still stronger than it is for sure.
Beautiful, I agree with you my dear sister
* Agreed
😉🌹
That's why we love Apple
The best thing is to be exposed on the Internet. I did not use protection software, but rather I could not stand it. We used to need it due to the lack of storage space and the low quality of portable hard drives, which makes me have to protect the computer. Now, I do not need to protect my data. Why is it because the iPhone is present in which I put everything important and I have Large SSD memory with cloud services, data loss is no longer an easy matter, and social media has reduced cases of using secret programs to understand user behavior or similar information needs because it is easy for anyone to evaluate a behavioral study of people through Instagram in the Gulf and Facebook in Egypt from here I am I became much closer than before, and all this thanks to the iPhone and the security that we enjoy, and today, by chance, we were discussing how we can get rid of a database that is no longer useful due to the presence of Instagram and how we will plan to make a strong entry for people without phone numbers or anything related to the user iPhone forever
Peace and mercy of God
Wonderful report, may Allah reward you
However, I have a message on my Mac Pro that I see that my device contains viruses
What is the solution do you think?
And God bless you ☺️
Do not look at the best messages like this, as they are pop-up windows from some sites that lead you to specific pages or paid programs
In addition to what I previously commented about Apple systems, I do not fail to praise the Android system, which has developed a lot during the last three years and among its developments is that it has become a stable and largely safe system according to the benefit of many of its users and no longer suffers from viruses, breaches, suspension and other things as before, thank you
👍🏻
Frankly, I currently own two iPhone and the other Android phone that I bought XNUMX months ago. The strange thing is that I have not encountered the problems that are rumored about in Android, such as ads in the notification bar, ads in the lock screen, or advertisements that pop up from an unknown program, knowing that I use more than XNUMX application part Some of them from outside the Google store, the reason may be the control power of the Nougat VII version that I am currently using
Thank you, my sister Nour 🌹
My brother Muhammad Sahih, Android has improved a lot and has become safe and stable to a large extent in its last three or four releases, thank you 🌹
Pardon
I agree with you, brother Muhammad, the remarkable improvement in Android security is undeniable
Be patient only a little .. Three months is not a lot, be patient and you will see the wonder, programs that prove themselves without your interference, many advertisements and programs that appear on the top bar suddenly, automatic download of tools and programs about which you do not know anything, and what most baffles me, a missile flying from the bottom of the screen to me Above, I always see it on my friends' phones and I don’t know what it is useful for !!!!
No, it is not true, my brother Hatem. This was previously. As for the last three years, all these matters have ended
Is this only about iOS?
How about Mac devices needs to fight viruses?
And what is the virus that comes through messages? As soon as you open the message, the device will turn off, like the Indian letter message, and some messages are sent by WhatsApp.
👍🏻
This is not a virus, but it is a problem with the system in reading such characters, and the problem was solved with a simple update
The same applies to Mac, not iOS only
Before reading the article, I can say, through my experience for several years, that it is very difficult for viruses to penetrate the iPhone, for the simple reason that the iPhone is a closed source system
closed source even that no anti-virus applications are placed within the basic applications and this applies to all Apple devices with its various systems.
I can criticize Apple devices in several matters except at the point of smoothness of the system and its safety from external factors such as breaches, viruses, etc. This is completely proven for Apple as a great feature and it is one of the most important features that I want and hundreds of millions of people want to use Apple devices. Thank you 🌹
Oh my god
But I would like to add information to you. If the closed system is difficult to penetrate, then Microsoft would have benefited from this closure, as its Windows system is closed source
But, as I wrote in the article, the policy followed in the system is what contributes to protecting it
My brother consultant, the Windows system is not considered completely closed source, as the user can download many applications outside the Microsoft umbrella and it is not completely closed source like Apple's systems ..
In any case, what I mentioned in my comment is one of the most important reasons for high safety in Apple systems
And it is not the only reason, as you kindly requested that the measures that were mentioned in the article and that Apple take also contribute greatly to the security of the system and thank you 🌹
I completely agree with you, my brother Majid, the strength of the level of security in iOS can never be denied, as well as in the Mac system. As for the Windows system, as I said, it is not considered completely closed source. I myself must use Windows with an anti-virus program. Since my first week with him, the reason was that I was lazy at the beginning to put an anti-virus on him.
It is true, my sister Nour, I did not rest from viruses and formatted every few months in the laptops that I used previously, which did not complete with me because of that for more than two or three years at most, except when I switched to the MacBook, and here he is with me for five years now without any single problem with Viruses, and I did not need to make any formatting for it, knowing that I use it almost daily on the Internet
I totally agree with you
Despite this, I find that I am attracted to Windows and neglect the Mac, despite the constant destruction of most of my laptops due to viruses, another love for Windows and its viruses Working on a laptop or desktop computer for me needs more freedom and fewer restrictions
😄 It is true that the Windows system is indispensable at work and I still use it and I cannot dispense with it. As for the Mac that I transferred to it is at home and for personal use often, browsing the Internet and light applications, and this I noticed that it is suitable for the Mac and relieved me of the things that I was facing on Windows .. It is beautiful not to be biased completely for a particular system And it took from each system its advantages 😉👍
“It is beautiful to be completely impartial to a particular system and take from each system its advantages
I see, I explain to you the concept of closed and open source
The closing of the source does not at all mean that programs cannot be downloaded from outside the store, and its openness does not mean that the source can be downloaded from outside the store, as the Mac is closed and you can download from outside the store
The purpose of closing the source is to protect property rights and not to protect the system and not to develop it for anyone other than the owner without permission, Mac and iOS are considered open-source for Apple to adopt and develop, and closed to others and open sources can be any one or party to take the code and modify it
Google can stop downloading from outside the store in the Android system, and it is still open source.
You know that the iOS system is closed, and you know that Apple can fill its system with all the features found in other systems, and it remains closed.
It seems that the author of the article avoided mentioning some of the points calculated on the iOS ... which contradict his aspirations
Give me the door, because I know how to protect myself, and I know what to do. I do not want you to hold my hand and show me the way. When I saw you and closed my eyes, I discovered that you were controlling the engine and slowing it down without my knowledge.
The words of Clayim
My colleague, his iPhone 7, was hacked with a virus. There is no safety, everything that God penetrates violates their Russians
She is the lavish call
????
Possible name of the virus and what harm it caused ... if you said it correctly 😏
Who are you to check with me?
Try Der Restore for the device, I also hacked me, just like you did my iPad, knowing that the device is iPad Pro 2018
A good article, but in many ways to install non-app store programs and without jailbreaking 🙃
Perhaps the author of the article does not know her
Like toiks, Chinese appstores, payshirs, and many more, I think you should have an article about it, how it works, and is it safe or not.
Hi,
Dear brother ,
It is true that there are such methods .. but they cannot reach your computer except with your will or your action (as a user) .. that is, they are not considered a security breach ..
As for how it works:
At Apple, there are certificates for developers that allow them to test their application on different devices (a maximum of XNUMX devices per certificate) during the development of the device, which allows you to use any application without going through the Application Review Center ..
There are also certificates of institutions that operate on the same principle .. but their goal is to download enterprise applications on employees' devices (so that these applications are specialized for the company and there is no need to publish them on the application store) ..
From here some developers have taken advantage of this feature in offering sideloading stores that work to link your device with their developer certificate (via UDID) and thus you can download the applications they provide as if they are being tested applications (which justifies their inability to integrate services such as notifications and iCloud until the moment in the modified versions. -A little-) ..
As for safety:
Here it depends on the distributor .. if it is a technically unknown developer or you do not know him personally (such as some of what I mentioned from stores) .. Here you are subject to some security flaws such as ads or application injection with a specific virus that steals the current application data (such as WhatsApp (modified) Or Snapchat (modified) or others) .. But it does not penetrate the eBay outlet of the official application ..
And the sandboxing technology remains to protect your device from any hack or malfunction at the level of the year .. because when you feel that the application has been injected with a virus that asks for more authority than us, it works to destroy the application (that is, its collapse from the user’s point of view) .. And thus it is The only affected is the modified application and the information contained within it exclusively ..
I hope that the picture will be clearer .. Greetings and appreciation to you ..
👍🏻👍🏻
👍💪🏼
👍🏻
You have classified Android as a hacked device as if it comes with the root Android has changed a lot from before and the difference is that with Android there is an option to download programs from outside the Google Store, except for that, it is closed and does not allow you to download programs outside the Google Store with a shortcut (Android gives you the freedom to hack your device and the keys of the sandbox In your hand, and in case you do not respond, no one will be able to penetrate you (by the way, faster iPhone X by opening the data, for it has lost its title for the Samsung S9. We hope to prepare an article for this matter.)
It is true, my brother Rafiq, I agree with you, and Android has evolved a lot, and if it is used with care and external applications are avoided, then it is safe and stable to a large extent and does not cause problems as before, and this is what many of its users have confirmed to me
Who told you that I cannot download applications from outside the App Store?
👍🏻 A lot of video recording apps I used to download from the App Store before the release of ios11, and I still download some various apps from the App Store so far
But I don't think doing this is a breach of security, because as a user, I am the one who did this of my own free will
Nice article as usual 😂
Congratulations
