Hello,
some bullies might or might not have had access to my iPhone and unlocked it. I am wondering when I checked I did not see any spy profiles in profile management. I am wondering this is a theoretical question “if someone physically puts spyware like a spy app or profile on your phone, do they physically need it again to remove it?” And unless the Cydia app appeared then my iPhone is not hacked?

About a Hacked iPhone:
Unfortunately, there is no way to determine if it has been hacked, unless you know that it has been jailbroken. And, the only way for an iPhone to have hacked is if it has been jailbroken.
So, what to do...
Reset to Factory Settings:
If you are so concerned, then reset you iPhone to factory settings, as if you were to sell it. Go here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Perform as instructed there, including the backup creation and iCloud logout.

Format this Anew
Q1. “But the main question is do you they need the phone again physically to remove the spyware because to sign back in to the Apple ID only the trusted device gets the pop up?”
A1. No. I don’t think that. Setting this up anew will rid of it all.
Q2. ”and doesn’t it take an hour to install spyware from a computer to an iPhone?“
A2. No. Not even close to a minute. You could install spyware on a phone on second, just like on a PC.
So, if your all concerned over this, then format this anew, as I mentioned in my above reply.
Honestly, you could go to the trouble of wiping the phone and starting over, but I certainly wouldn't do it.
If you don't see the Cydia app on your iPhone or in the profiles section any profiles, it's highly unlikely anyone installed anything on your phone. Period.
is this true?
Once you erase the device this will remove any settings data apps and other content on the device so if there is a spy ware that will also will be removed. Once you erase the device this will remove any settings data apps and other content on the device so if there is a spy ware that will also will be removed. Meaning for a hacker to erase their spyware from your phone they would have to log back into your IPhone, which would require and prompt the map pop up.”

A1. Whether it be a Mac or an iPhone you set up anew, everything would removed. The safest way is to add it all back manually, asking the Developer for a new license, key, informing them that you had to reinstall your operating system.

A2. You're not going to get any hacker on an iPhone, unless it has been jailbroken, and the only way to know this is if you did so yourself. Purchase it from Apple, and no worries there.

Blow it Off:
If you’re so skeptical, then just reset the device and you’re safe from there. No one needs to go into your Apple ID, but you.
But the main question is do you they need the phone again physically to remove the spyware because to sign back in to the Apple ID only the trusted device gets the pop up?
and doesn’t it take an hour to install spyware from a computer to an iPhone?
can They remove the spy profile remotely?
No
So they would need to log into my Apple ID to remove the spy profile?
