4 Popular iPhone Games That Are Actually So Bad For Your Device—#3 Can Cause Viruses

If you own an iPhone you have an advantage: Apple does a pretty good job at vetting all apps that come through to its App Store. That means, if you are downloading a game (or any other app) from the App Store, there’s a better than decent chance that it has been analyzed and wouldn’t be allowed through if it could cause issues like putting malware on your device.

That does not mean that all of the games on your iPhone are one and the same. Some can cause scary pop-ups to occur when you’re in Safari — some may even have you believing you have been infected with a virus. But, at the end of the day, the most common complaints about viruses, malware, and games occur on Android gaming apps. Several games in Google Play have been found to contain malicious software. Jailbreaking your iPhone so that you can download apps that haven’t been approved by Apple is one major way an Apple device can become infected with spyware and other viruses. These four popular games are actually bad for your device — some, like number three, can even cause viruses.
