I need help because I think my iPhone 13 Pro has been hacked.

My iPhone 13 Pro is not working properly. My battery is draining super fast, my phone Shows I’m connect to WiFi but when I go in to do my update it’s telling me I’m not connected. My phone calls are dropping or the person in the other line can’t hear me. My text messages are failing to send. There is just a bunch of things happening that make me think my phone has been hacked and I need help with how to fix the problem. Desperate Please Help…

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Unless you handed your phone to someone for an extended period of time and they jailbroke it, installing software on your iPhone, you have not been hacked. And none of the issues you're suggesting would be indicative of a phone which was hacked. It's REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to hack an iPhone. And usually only truly important people are typically targets.

The first and simplest thing you should do is Force Restart your iPhone, by following the directions in this link --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

This sounds more like a software issue than being hacked. As the comment states, it's virtually impossible to hack an iPhone without someone having physical access. You may want to just back it up, then restore it. This will put a whole new copy of software on your iPhone and may fix your issues.
