- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoMalware has a specific meaning - that one app can surreptitiously embed itself in your device, cause damage, or exfiltrate your info. I’m not saying there haven’t been vulnerabilities in iOS. But those were bugs that Apple tried to close. For desktop operating systems, giving third party applications that ability is a feature not a bug. Yes I’m including MacOS in that bucket - see Zoom installing a web server on Macs without letting users know.
