    For some iOS versions this is theoretically possible, but it's not really a risk.   Folks that are capable of this are expensive, have some link to law enforcement or academia.  This is not something that part-time hackers can do.   But seriously, just 'fess up.  Life is too short, and you're better off just telling her the truth.

    If you have a 6S, no. The FBI paid an expert to hack one iPhone 5. It cost around $1 million. The way they did it won't work for a 6S, however.
