Hi Andreeagle,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that you've got concerns about possible hidden apps on an iPhone. Your privacy and security are very important. We're happy to help.


We recommend restoring a device to factory settings prior to selling or giving it away. If this was done all of the previous owners apps and content will be removed from the iPhone.
