Spy or malware apps can access to iPhone? I think I’ve installed an app from a fake pop up alert on safari in my old iPhone 7 ios 15.5 . Because I was dumb, so now I know that these apps are spy ware apps. and I’m worried if I was hacked and seen trough my iPhone camera. does Apple let these apps get installed outside App Store? and what are the signs that shows that I could be watched and hacked?

Settings > General > About view claims I have 97 apps, the list of apps in Settings only shows 94 apps installed? I was sent a strange link via text and opened it. I was redirected to instagram… but not immediately so im worried it loaded malware. Its not clear which apps are being counted in the “about” my phone section. Im wondering if someone can clarify where 97 is coming from versus the 94 that I know I intentionally downloaded. Also wondering if I back up my phone can I re install the operating software and use the backup without reinstalling malware…that is if there is any, I know iPhones are fairly more secure than other devices.

This is just buggy Apple software. It is meant for developers and supposed to be hidden. Unfortunately, if it is not hidden, there is no way to remove it. All you can do is re-hide it in some folder so you don’t see it.
