Is my iPhone got hacked?

My iPhone 11 takes screenshots like every 5-10sec. It took screenshots right now when I logged in to iCloud.

If Getting Automatic Screenshots:

Your best bet is to reset the iPhone to Factory Settings, backing up what need be prior to the reset.


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...

Resetting 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.
