I believe my phone is definitely hacked into is this possible? How do they do it? And is it legal for someone to tap into your camera and microphone?

Unless you have jailbroken your phone or you are a high-profile journalist, activist, or politician whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire, you have not been hacked.


As noted above, if you explain what problems you're having with your phone, people here can probably help you work through them.


It is possible for your Apple ID to be compromised.

The phone will become very hot. Then a second phone icon will appear at the top of my screen. I have witnessed my phone behave in a way I cannot explain.

There are a number of reasons phones can become hot, including using graphics and processor-intensive apps, charging the phone, a defective battery.


It would be helpful if you could post a screenshot of this "second phone icon" but, it's likely that this is also something normal, such as Focus/Do Not Disturb.


Random events…like the phone is emulated.A slave to another phone like someone is watching me.

That doesn't describe anything the phone is doing. That's your subjective reaction. And, as emulation has nothing to do with hacking, I don't know what you mean by that.


If someone had spent the hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to hack your phone, there would be no indication.
