Has my iPhone been compromised? Hello! While I was on TikTok, a video popped up with some people sharing websites where you can see other people's mugshots in the comments section.

Was spyware added to my iPhone? Hi! A few months back, I had a sketchy coworker who gave me QR code to an app. After I downloaded the app my phone started acting strange. Turning on and off by itself. Taking photos on its own. Draining of battery fast and overheating. It was very suspect and yes this coworker would do something like that. I deleted the app on my phone but not cloud. Because I want to know if I actually was hacked. Can Apple tell if spyware was installed? I need someone to help me see if I this person violated me.

If by "clips" you mean videos, then no. No way to do that. Whatever app is playing back the video, would be isolated from the rest of the system as that is the nature of the sandboxed design of iOS.
