No one has hacked your iPhone, unless it is jailbroken.


Consider the Following:

A. Clear the Temporary Internet Files:


B. Clear "Other" Storage: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip


C. Software:

This is what I use on my iPhone....

  • Malwarebytes for iOS:

This software is free of charge, and it blocks out callers, and messages. The paid version lets you report these scammers.

Get it here: Malwarebytes for iOS - App Store - App Store

  • McAfee Mobile Security:

I keep the VPN off, but scan it every now-and-then. Just keep Security Software off of your Mac. All I use it for is scanning for junk.
