iOS malware does exist, but on non-jailbroken phones is exceedingly rare and costly. Most of the people in your replies have no idea what they are talking about. More on this:https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/mg7pjy/ahmed-mansoor-million-dollar-dissident-government-spyware …

Get your answer straight from Apple Support, don’t trust random twitter people for an answer here.

Yes all 3 you get a antivirus software just like on your computers, in fact some companies offer to protect both devices for a few dollars more. And just an FYI ALWAYS encrypt your phone.

Most definitely can. Jailbroken or not. There's apps to scan and remove problematic items.

clearing the cookies of the internet app you use in settings usually gets rid of any sort of popup that looks like malware on your phone.

Yes. The OS automatically gets security fixes in its updates. Anti-virus and anti-malware software could be gotten from a reputable distributor as extra security. Encryption and backups will keep your data safe and ensure you can safely wipe the phone if a virus does infect it.

We talk about
#techsafety with victims of domestic violence. Detecting & removing malware is very hard. Change your iCloud password ASAP. You may need to purchase a new phone. If you choose to do that, create a NEW iCloud account! Good luck

Yes they can! They can be hijacked also! Watch what and where you click, especially to close a pop up. There have been several phishing/hijack attempts showing Amazon & Apple. Close your browser, clear your cache, restart your phone usually helps.

Carefully check what & where you download apps as well including from the App Store. There have been a few bad apples in there too.
