Remote access to my iPhone 6s

My phone has been being accessed remotely for a few months now. Pictures have been changed, with them adding layers and distorting images. Settings change frequently. Some times I’ll see a number of apps being ghost pushed, but the app doesn’t open. My analytics are through the roof. How do I stop this?

It’s an iPhone 6s with a current 15.4.1 update.

Ive been messing with settings and anything I could think of.

if you mean remotely controlling your device, then...


Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken. 


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password, etc with your friends and family members.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.


Thumb Rules:

  1. Enable  Guided Access before handing over an iPhone to kids
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device and payment methods
  5. Beware of Phishing
