    Are you aware of Pegasus? 0 interaction required. The hackers just need your phone number and for your phone to receive a text. They can then go and remove the payload text since they have full access to your phone leaving you with zero trace of being infected.

    This is obviously not a worry for the average person but to say iOS and Android do not have a meaningful malware concern is just false.

      This is how Kashoghi was spied on by the Saudis and eventually murdered.

      They turned his phone into a spy device.
