Remote installation of spyware in iPhone
I found a hacker which claims can install a spyware remotely in iPhone just with the help of mobile number
What you say about android can be remotely spied or cloned
Question marked as
Through imei number he say will clone the phone he said he would need phone number or email Address associated with the phone or IP address
What he claims he can do and what is actually possible are two very different things. He can't clone the phone number with those bits of information. He can't remotely install anything with that information.
If, however, he has your Apple ID and password, he can get access to a lot of your information. He could use that information to make you think he had installed spyware.

The fact that Android security is so full of holes it's ridiculous is not relevant.
These forums are for the support of Apple products.
That’s good to know. The problem is their are sites like dr.fone that provide access to simply “spyware” tools and instructions that make people think this stuff is simple, routine and common. Admittedly even wondershare specifies that their tools/instructions require someone to have the iPhone or android phone in their very hands, but people speed reading with fear in their minds already skip over those details.
Or that most if these commonly downloadable cloning tools are used primarily by people trying to salvage a damaged phone to setup a replacement, not spy on anyone. And with any iPhone since the introduction of activation lock, they require physical access to the phone, as well as knowing the AppleID and password used for activation lock. Unfortunately wondershare and other sites list their tools and instructions along with articles on SIM cloning and other hacks, so non-tech oriented people end up coming away with nothing more than heightened fear and paranoia about their devices and data. And thinking everything they’ve read can be done remotely over the air, and without their knowledge.
Reminds me of Sandra Bullock in “the net” in 1995 apparently achieving MiB/s transfer speeds out of her dial-up 56 kbit/s modem - people who’d never used a PC or Mac really thought that was how the internet worked then. All you needed was a 3.5” floppy, some simple knowledge of BASIC and a modem and you could hack the world! That same uninformed fear and paranoia lives on to this day.
