Hacked iPhone with Remote Access:

So, do you see the screen being tampered with while it is in your hands? Are items being deleted without your knowledge?


I. Set this Up Anew:

If you are so concerned, then reset your iPhone, as if you were to sell it. Perform as instated here, including the backup: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


II. Secure your Account:

Being suspicions of access to your account, someone may have your credentials. So, secure your account ASAP, start with a new eMail Address. Consider using a new email address for Apple, and Apple alone.

A. Modifying your Credentials:

If you suspect activity issues, then modify the you credentials. Someone may know your credentials, so using a opening and using new eMail address for your Apple Account seems the best, single route to take of the three provided above.

B. Report a Screenshot to Apple:

Unless you have provided someone your phone and Apple Account credentials no one is remote controlling your phone. If you are using iCloud to store your photos, then it is possible that account has been compromised. See the information here if. you believe your account has been compromised.
