While a virus cannot directly damage a phone screen physically, it can affect the phone's software in ways that cause screen-related issues.
According to available information, a virus can indirectly affect your phone screen by causing the following:
- Freezing: Your screen may freeze more often than usual. The reference indicates: "...the screen might be freezing more often than usual, which is another sign that something could be wrong."
- Slow Response: A virus can make your phone sluggish and slow to respond to touch.
- Slow App Opening: Apps may take longer to open, creating the perception that the screen is not working correctly or is slow.
In summary, a virus won't crack or shatter your screen, but it can make it appear as though there are problems with it due to software malfunctions. The performance issues caused by the virus give the impression that the screen is affected.
