I have a question after doing ios 14 update does anyone else keep having a bit . ly thing poping up in your website data or is it just me? Idk I asked someone I know said its a glitch but I worry it mite be hacked or virus or something tho I haven't went to anything and keep clearing it idk I read on here iphones can't get viruses and all that but idk kinda worrys me
Your phone can’t get a virus. It’s in your website data because at some point since the last time you cleared website data (which might have been years ago) either you used it or a text, email, or perhaps another website embedded it. It’s nothing to worry about. There are probably dozens or hundreds of URLs in your website data that you don’t recognize.
Any time you view a website it is likely that the site pulls in content from other sites to render the page. Every one of those sites will appear in your website data.

bit.ly is a way of shortening an URL, it is used in text messages where you want to insert a URL that is too long for the available space.
But why would it keep showing up if I don't go to anything? Wasn't doing this till after ios 14 update. And keep clearing it's not doing it on another person that I know that has ios 14 just mine
You must have gone to a site or received a message that used it to shorten an URL. You can clear your website data to get rid of it, but it won’t do any harm leaving it.
So its a text message doing it? Not a virus or something? its weird I never went to any sites or got sent a website link. But its nothing bad tho?
But also I've sent pictures lately would that use bit.ly and why it's in my website data? Tho If never went to anything?
Not to be rude but u sure u know what your talking about. Hope your right tho. But na since I noticed this and before even I always keep my website data cleared
Yes, I know what I’m talking about. I’ve been designing and managing websites for 20 years.
But if u don't like work for apple how would u know all that?
There’s nothing exotic about the way Apple displays websites.
Ok well thank u for answering my question it worried me about my phone
Website data glitch
