I have apps on my iPhone that I did not download, should I be worried?

You can see the exact date that those were downloaded by going to the App Store, then tapping your user icon in the upper right. After tapping Purchased you will see the date that it was downloaded. If you do not share your Apple ID with anyone else, that will at least narrow down the day. Even though it does not show the time, you should be able to figure out who could have been near your phone when you were not on that day.

It is not a case of remote hacking, it is simply someone that knows your device passcode. You mentioned you changed your password, but you really need to change your device passcode.

Go to Settings/[your name] and look at the list of devices that are logged in to your Apple ID. One of them downloaded the apps.

To get back to your question of should you be worried finding 3 downloaded apps on your phone. The answer is yes because someone has your password or passcode. By changing both the password and passcode, you have eliminated the problem. It can only happen in one of 2 ways:

• With Password, they can login to your account from another device and download apps and they will show up on yours. As Lawrence said, you can still check if they are logged in.
• With Passcode, they can login to your device and download the apps onto it.

The only mystery is which one it was and we will not be able to help with that and it can only be solved by your own investigation.

I had an personal experience like you.That kids in my house knew my passcode and they downloaded the games and I was worried before knowing it.So, Make sure to Hide your Passcode from others

So you were able to confirm the download date from the App Store and that they were all downloaded on the same day. The time is not given, so you will not be able to determine the time that you had it in your pocket.

Thanks Mac Jim ID, that’s a good summary. I’ll just add that to use the passcode they need to have the phone in their hot little hands.

Do you share an Apple ID with anyone? If they downloaded the apps they would also appear on your phone.

Then someone was using your phone.

Yes that does happen all the time. Some people will even give out their passcode like it is candy without realizing the consequences.
