You can call Apple support ask the customer service rep to view/ share your screen. Show them why you think you’ve been hack. If they see any indication they can reach out to a team lead. The team lead will advise them how to direct you. If an extreme circumstances are displayed. A team lead can send a linked scanning test to your device, under the Privacy settings, Share iPhone Analytics.


First an most importantly change your Apple password & check all your setting including privacy on your device. There is also several features under the Screen Time setting to block unwanted changes & usage.
