Iphone camera hacked

I received an email saying my phone was hacked and what I did in front of the camera was recorded. It seems like they know what I did a few days ago. Is it true that they can hack my iPhone camera?

Telling you that your phone was hacked is a common step in a phishing message - their goal is to create fear, uncertainty and doubt in order to encourage you to do something that you wouldn’t otherwise do.. such as follow a link. The email you received is an obvious scam and should be ignored and deleted.
