Malware- Android phone

[D song]

If a phone gets infected by a virus/malware whatsoever, do the bakup files in Drive get infected too? Most probably not, right ? And other than that, can a phone battery get a virus ? Not the phone, but battery. Is that even possible ?

Thanks.

Do you mean Google Drive, right?
In this case no because the infection is limited to the device.
Regarding the battery even here the answer is absolutely no !
Do not be intimidated by scam/pop up !

Yes a phone get a virus but you need to make sure when you go and download applications from the Google Play store you make sure they have a good rating and the comments people are leaving are genuine. I've been running an Android phone now for more than a year without any antivirus. Have all my messages, pictures etc backed up daily to Google Drive and Safe Sync but have never received a virus. As for a virus getting into a battery, it be an interesting virus.

I don't think so any kind of virus exist so far.

I don't really know much about how a android phone works like Google drive works or safe sync my phone keeps saying I can't get a wifi connection.
