Hello

Can I phones pick up viruses, etc? Are there any anti-virus apps that are suggested?

Thanks
 
No viruses are known to survive in the IOS used for iPads and iPhones. You don't need anti-virus Apps.
 
Thanks. Earlier today a flashing red page popped up. It flashed so rapidly that I couldn't read it. But it did say something about a virus and to download a particular app. I deleted the Safari history, and that seems to have rectified the issue. I've just never seen anything like that before. And on a phone?

Thanks

That would be a phishing scam designed to get you to spend money on something that's totally unnecessary. What you did was the right way to handle it.
