I was texted someone on instagram, then locked the screen when I tried to open it again the phone did not respond. After about 3 minutes I tried to unlock the screen again and found instagram app opened and doing a audio recording, 1 min long. Is my phone compromised(hacked) or is this a bug of the app/IOS?

Hello cosmin_t,
Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.
We understand you're having an issue with the Instagram app. We're happy to help.
First off, we'd recommend ensuring that your iPhone is up-to-date with the latest iOS version. Before updating, we recommend backing up your iPhone first. These articles can be of help. When you back up, you can back up using a Mac or PC rather than iCloud if you choose.
