Have I been hacked?

So Apple have a feature called ‘Suggested memories’ that create an album of your photos with a title and music. Usually the title they use pick is the location the photos were taken or something like ‘holiday’.

Today a suggested memory popped up titled ‘Who*rs’. The album created was just pictures of my friend and me out at dinner (both girls) and nothing but selfies and pics of food and drinks. At first I thought it was a joke, thought some how my friend was pranking me but no it was Apple, even popped up as a notification.

I reached out to the support team and they had no answer for me. I was worried I had been hacked but they said unlikely. Sooo what the **** happened?

By hack, if you mean remotely controlling or monitoring 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 them on your device or/and have Jailbroken.

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:

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