Malware can cause significant harm to your phone, including data theft and slowed performance. To remove malware without an app, start by restarting your phone in safe mode. This will prevent any malicious software from running.
Identify the source of the malware by checking recently installed apps or files. Look for any suspicious activity, such as unfamiliar apps or strange pop-ups. Remove any recently installed apps that you don't recognize.
Use the phone's built-in security features to scan for malware. Check your phone's settings for a security or virus scan option. Run a full scan to detect and remove any malware.
If the malware is embedded in an app, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. You can also try resetting the app's data and cache. Be cautious when reinstalling apps, as they may still contain malware.
To prevent future malware infections, be cautious when downloading apps or files from the internet. Only download from trusted sources, and read user reviews before installing. Keep your phone's operating system and security software up to date to protect against the latest threats.
