Can you use "Iphone Analytics" to discover if someone has hacked or is remotely controlling your device?

Can you use "Iphone Analytics" logs to discover if someone has hacked or is remotely controlling your device? Does spyware, malware or even government hacking leave bread crumbs in logs and how do you identify it. I will not accept answers that say “No, so don’t look into it. If your going to answer with no then explain why NO”.

What is leading you to believe that your phone is hacked or remotely controlled?


Apps that can be installed do not have access to the entire system, this is due to the way iOS is sandboxed and structured - this is also why you don’t see any iPhone viruses.. it is a waste of time to write and distribute them. Even most modern jailbreaks are “semi-tethered”, which means they cannot survive a phone reboot.


The more important things to worry about are phishing and social engineering.
