To the OP: Sorry OP means the original poster. It’s not unusual that you are unfamiliar with SSH or anything else mentioned.
Those things all do sound like they warrant further investigation. It can be really tricky to locate something improper on a device and know for certain that it shouldn’t be there and many people struggle with finding problems and do whatever it is that needs to get done to fix them.
If I were you I’d take your phone to the Genius Bar and talk to them about your concerns. Obviously if they try to dismiss them as impossible just ignore them and don’t let it upset you. Instead focus on the specific things you mentioned here how your security checkup says “unable to gather information.” That’s not normal but it’s not conclusive of anything either way.
Tell them you’re concerned about your Wi-Fi settings bc it describes them as “managed”. btw do you live in a community where Wi-Fi is provided to a large area or comes from more than a single Wi-Fi router that you have somewhere in your home? That could explain the term managed but still it’s good to be on the lookout for that type of thing.
For your audio and camera being used are you also seeing a red green or orange dot appearing in the corner of your phone or do you you find the camera app open or something? Your iPhone may be set to revert to last used settings when you reopen the camera app so you may want to turn that setting off to see if that stop the filters from behaving unusually. If not I’d have the camera looked at.
There are dozens of other things that you could do to investigate this but in general you should always calmly approach such problems and start from the most common and easy to fix possibility like simply adjusting a setting before trying to ascertain the much more difficult question of if your phone has been accessed without your permission. I say difficult because when that does occur whoever did it probably has some interest in not getting caught so evidence may be deleted or hidden from you anyway. Either way just because you can’t prove it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
If you are really concerned that your phone has been subject to some sort of unauthorized access you can always back up your data then perform a factory reset of your phone.

I’ve read other discussions with the same topic and same answers.
It's all very odd. It's interesting how many people believe it. Unfortunately, it's not reality. Trying to cover something up rarely ends well though.
I truly think they believe that they are right..
Hopefully they know the truth now.
I’m sorry you’re going through this ! If I can help in any way I most certainly will . Let me know if you got the problem fixed already please ! I’ll give you any information I can. By the way YES an iPhone can be hacked ! Apple was on the phone with me told me themselves just 2 weeks ago my iPhone has been hacked. Then I took pictures of all the other iPhones with the one I was talking to them on ! Yes they were looking at with me , guess what they were also hacked ! So please stop saying that to people that are going through this . Everyone’s situation is different. When we get to this point that we’re praying that this forum and the people on it can possibly help us , believe me when I say we have asked 30 friends 25 coworkers people we don’t even know for help . So the last thing we really need at this point is a IPhone can’t be hacked. Just please try to help us. Thank you so much to the amazing people I have seen take their time try to figure it out with us. God bless you ! You really don’t know how much we appreciate you for being compassionate and trying to help us. Even if it is someone that’s phone hasn’t been hacked but that’s the words they used. Just help them if you can !❤️ Thank you Apple for being honest with me and helping me. God bless ! I pray that anyone going through this gets help as fast as possible.
No, my statements are not mistaken. But as you aren’t going to believe anything I say there’s no point in continuing this discussion.
thank you!
know i have to disagree with you. i have my phone on lockdown mode. Still experiencing issues, i am being a victim of cyber bully.
Thanks man! I just might end up doing exact same thing. Cheers!

but there is also evidence of numerous exploits that are able to bypass those security measures.
Can you provide citations to that evidence?
So, you can't provide actual citations. No problem.
@EZDanger Thanks. I think most people do believe it actually happens. Just be careful not to let anyone convince you of what everyone else thinks.
Hello ~ What did Apple tell you that your issue was?
