How to Check If Your iPhone Has Been Hacked and How to Remove Hacks

If you think someone has hacked your iPhone because your apps are crashing, you’re receiving suspicious notifications or messages, or your phone is behaving oddly, here are steps to check and remove any potential hacks.
First, identify unknown apps on your iPhone. If you see an app you don’t recognize, long press on it and select the option to remove or uninstall the app. This can help eliminate any malicious software that might have been installed on your device without your knowledge.
Next, go to the "Settings" app and navigate to "General." From here, tap on "iPhone Storage" and look through the list of installed apps for anything unfamiliar or suspicious. If you find an app that you don’t recognize, tap on it and choose to delete it. This process ensures that any potentially harmful applications are removed from your device.
Additionally, it’s a good idea to clear your Safari browser data, as malicious websites can sometimes leave harmful data on your device. Open "Settings," scroll down to "Safari," and tap on it. Then, scroll down and select "Clear History and Website Data." Confirm by tapping "Clear History and Data." This action will remove all your browsing history and website data, which can help protect your privacy and security.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue and you still suspect that your iPhone has been hacked, the last resort is to reset your iPhone completely. To do this, go to "Settings," then "General," and scroll down to "Transfer or Reset iPhone." Tap on "Erase All Content and Settings." Follow the prompts to confirm and complete the reset. This will erase everything on your iPhone and return it to factory settings, effectively removing any malicious software.
Following these steps can help you identify and remove any hacks from your iPhone, ensuring your device is secure.
