[Blindtlk] Messed up my phone

[Jude DaShiell]

An operating system software update on an iphone does not happen.  You 
have to double tap settings then double tap general then double tap 
software update and if there is a software version for you to update 
then you have to tap download and install.  That's one of those Apple 
security features.  Even after tapping download and install, you have to 
enter your pass code to actually start the download and install process.

>>> hello Erica,
>>> There is now quite a bit of malware that is attacking smart phones.
>>> If you have some malware it will be trying, if it hasn't already, to send your personal data back to the designers of the malware.
>>> From what you've reported, it sounds like it would be wise for you to go to the Apple shop as soon as possible and have them check out the situation and remove the malware if your phone has some.
>>> If it's not malware, it still sounds like a professional needs to take a look. However, with the rapid rise of sophisticated malware targeting smart devices, and the numerous update fixes which Apple has recently released, it sounds very likely that you are dealing with malware.
>>> Warmly,
>>> Heather
