Is it possible that my iPhone camera has been hacked?

Hello!


Can your camera get hacked without Access to your ICloud?

Or they should access to you Icloud first.

and they could hack your camera If they know your passcode?

because I think I entered some personal information on a fake pop ups on safari in the past.

and thank you

Your camera can't get "hacked."


If you accidentally give a website camera or microphone permission, you can navigate into Settings > Safari > Camera or Microphone, and see if any websites you're unfamiliar with are listed there.


You can also be aware of when the camera or microphone is being used as a green or orange dot indicator will appear in the upper part of your display.
