Checking Iphone11 for Malware

Hi, I'm suspect that someone has gotten malware (key log, message & photo access, tracking etc) on my GF's I-phone. She lives out of the country and is not technically competent. If she takes her phone to an Apple Store, can they check her phone for Malware? And potentially determine the date of the installation?

Scan an iPhone XR for malware My friend fell for a scam and was talked through installing several apps on her iPhone, allowing the scammers to purchase gift cards, etc. Luckily her bank recognized the unusually pattern and prevented those purchases from going through. She deleted the apps, but they still show in her iCloud for re-download, which is concerning. She also wants to be sure that more malware was installed or settings changed to allow them to get back into her phone later. What would be the best way for her to have her phone scanned for malware and keep it safe? Thank you for any advice.

To check if it is jail broken see if the Cydia app is installed.
