Unknown app on iPhone 15 Pro Max, how to delete? While checking apps on my iPhone 15 Pro Max IOS 26.3 (phone says its up to date), I noticed an app on my phone that I never downloaded. I am in the United States and the app name is Baurechner. I have checked all of my app purchases to make sure I didn't accidentally download the app and It was not listed in my application list via app store or online. So I searched for the app in the app store and it doesn't even show up as an app. I have no idea where it came from or if its malicious. I want to get rid of it but I don't know how because It is not even in my settings at all. Anyone else have any idea how this may have happened? Do I need to change my apple ID password? How can I delete it? Thanks in advance.

They are things the iPhone is backing up.

Yes, if they are there, they are fine.

I also have the Keyboard Data entry, but not the Webkit entry. Webkit is the framework behind the Safari web browser so it's not a foreign item there.
