It looks like your message is incomplete, but it sounds like one of those viral warnings that say:
“Be very careful. If you get this message, you are infected with …”
These posts often circulate on Facebook, WhatsApp, TikTok, etc., claiming that receiving a certain message, emoji, friend request, or phone call will “infect” your device.
✅ Most of these warnings are HOAXES.
They are usually meant to scare people and spread virally.
Common hoax formats include:
-
“If you receive a friend request from ___, it will hack your phone.”
-
“If someone sends you this emoji, your account will be infected.”
-
“A video called ____ will install a virus on your phone when you watch it.”
-
“Sharing this post protects your account” (not true).
None of these actions by themselves can infect your device.
❗ But sometimes real malware DOES spread through:
-
Clicking infected links
-
Downloading unknown apps or files
-
Opening suspicious email attachments
-
Installing APK files from unofficial sources
-
Entering passwords on fake login pages
