I'm not quite sure what you are trying to ask. I assume you are asking if any of us have had a virus on our phone? If so, then nope. You have to go out of your way to get a virus on most phones, so I figure its rare, but does happen.

It's not that rare to get a virus on an Android phone as you may think.
For example if you want to download a modded game on an Android from Google or something similar, it could contain a virus and the modded game.

Well, then it's practically your fault, but yes, it might happen.
Chances are fairly less when it comes to iPhones, it's not "as" easy to install a modded game, but it's also possible.

Phones are the main target for hackers, careful.

Pff. "Modded games" are just the surface of things. If you are rooted or jailbroken and do not fully understand what you are doing, that's like leaving your front door open in Compton.

For iphones i believe that it requires to install an Ipa file or be jailbroken and installing a tweak that has a virus.

Nop, you can install apps from "Unknown Sources" on iPhone and that app can highly be a virus, however, still. iOS is not open source, Android is.
