Is there a spy program on my iPhone 13?

Small grey box malware spy program. They keystroke everything I do, they know my passwords, they mess with my iPhone 13 and iPad Pro. There is another note with the same icon that said “screen share viewer” . Anyone good with cybersecurity? Any ideas

Everyone can see what's on your screen until you stop sharing, but they can't control anything on your device. If you get any notifications while sharing your screen, others won't be able to see them.

When you're sharing your screen, others won't be able to see content that requires a subscription, a free trial, or a purchase or rental to view.
