How I find out if my iPhone is bugged/tapped/ hacked etc.?

How I find out if my phone is bugged/tapped/ hacked etc. People know certain things that they would only know by going through my phone, plus I had a notification about a change of fingerprint when I was in the room!!

If the attackers are any good, you cannot.


iPhone does not send Touch ID fingerprint-change notifications.

If your passcode is compromised and your iPhone out of your control, you will be headed for a reset of, well, everything.

Notification to Change your Fingerprint:

Apple won't get such a message to change or manage a fingerprint. So, it is a scam. Report the to Apple. Use my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tip
