If you had been subjected to a SIM card swap intrusion you would not be able to use your phone at all. If this has happened, contact your data provider. There really really isn’t any anti-malware software you can download on an iOS device. You should get acquainted with all of Apple’s in built security settings and activate them appropriately.

Negative. I believe sim swapping acts like a MITM Protocol like for instance if my security at home is activated a swapped sim would catch the text telling me my alarm has been activated. You have any other suggestions on securing my iphone 11? Ive done so much in settings, Im actually looking for someone with more experience since this is my first iphone and Youtube only takes you but so far.

Thx in advance.

There are some excellent university led courses on network security and pen testing. Perhaps you should sign up to one or two. You would learn far more than by watching a few YouTube videos.

Sim Car Inteusion is not something that any specific phone or it’s own software can prevent, it occurs to the apps and software we all use but requires your sim being compromised at the mobile provider level. Usually, an employee is bribed to switch a sim for someone other than the customer.. In addition to always setting up accounts with 2 factor authorization, using a 3rd party one time code authorizer can help you as can subsequently removing your cell phone number from the app account profiles to defeat these actions that occur when a mobile carrier has security personnel issues.
