Remember that the absence of Cydia doesn't necessarily mean your phone isn't jailbroken. Some advanced users can hide Cydia or use alternative methods to install unauthorized apps without Cydia appearing on the home screen. If you're unsure or suspect that your device might be compromised, you might consider restoring your iPhone to its factory settings to remove any jailbreak and ensure it's secure. However, note that this will erase all data on your phone, so make sure to back up important information before doing so.

About a Hacked iPhone:

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine if it has been hacked, unless you know that it has been hacked (officially called "jailbroken"). And, the only way for an iPhone to have been hacked is if it has been jailbroken.


I know you don't want to be told this, but what I tell people oven enough...

Resetting to Factory Settings:

If you are so concerned, then reset your 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.

Im afraid somebody is spying on me, its a long story but in short, i sonetimes find camera 1 minute on screen in the battery usage ( without me using camera or any app that uses the camera) i also find the camera app in ( settings, privacy and security, app privacy report)

i can find the camera app is being used without me using it !!

Troubleshooting Camera App:

A. Did you Ever Open the Photos App?:

Perhaps you mistakenly opened the Photos app, and you had the Camera app open for a minute or less? That would explain it. Also, don't be getting the Camera app confused with the Photos app. The Camera app would be what is used to see items that are saved. The Photos app allows you to view your home media (Photos, Videos, Screen Recordings, Screenshots).


B. Close All Apps:

An app may be accessing you camera, and you just forgot to close it. So, close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up from the bottom-left to the top-get corners. Then, close all of these open apps, by swiping up quickly, one-app-at-a-time.


C. Disable Camera, Photos, and FaceTime Using Screen Time:

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: Screen Time
  3. Tap: Content & Privacy Restrictions
  4. Tap: Allowed Apps
  5. Tap: Camera (so that it is greyed-out)
  6. Tap: Photos (so that it is greyed-out)
  7. Tap: FaceTime (so that it is greyed-out)

"How can i know if my iphone11 promax is jailbroken?: No that is not the case because it is happening frequently, when i go to settings, privacy and security, app privacy report, i can find the camera app and what did the camera app use.. while i didnt use the camera app! i will attach some photos

Thank you for the screenshot.


6 Hours Ago:

Okay. So, what were you doing 6-7 hours ago? What this on the counter charging? Was it in your pocket while charging? Something activated it, and maybe someone looked at the camera, while picking it up, whither Face ID enabled.
