Possible Spyware?

from apple iPhone logs. Someone who was being monitored shows similar. I have 5 modified apps put on my phone going by the bundle identifiers. I’ve only shown samples to length short. Hope you can help. looks like a HomeKit has been set up. I have several Bluetooth devices showing on phone. Hopefully I’m wrong but I know who would do this.

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