A Trojan virus is a type of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software and can steal personal information from your phone or allow cybercriminals to profit by sending premium-rate SMS from your device. Trojan viruses are not common on iPhones, but they can still infect them if users download apps from unofficial or pirate app markets. However, iPhones are generally more secure than other devices due to Apples "walled garden" security protocol, which means third-party apps need the App Store's approval before they can be downloaded.

It's important to note that there is no such thing as a "Trojan virus". Trojans and viruses are two completely different things. iPhones cannot be hacked or infected with viruses, malware, or spyware if they are updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS. If you suspect that your iPhone has been infected with malware, you can remove it by deleting suspicious apps and clearing your cache and browsing history.
