So let's say my iPhone automatically backs up to my iCloud. If I link my iCloud after restoring my phone, but I don't restore with a backup, will it automatically put the spyware back onto my phone?

Your question is meaningless since it's impossible to get spyware on an iPhone that isn't jailbroken.


If your phone is jailbroken, you're on your own.

Are you asking if someone could do this on a non jailbroken phone?

The conclusive answer is they can't.


Are you asking how you could do it?

This is not a forum to ask this question, it would be a violation to ask or be answered.


If you are asking to determine if your phone is jailbroken take it into an Apple Authorized Repair Center for an evaluation as any website outside of Apple providing a suggestion on how would be entirely suspect.

There is spyware that can be placed onto your phone and its very easy for someone to do if they have your phone to themselves for less than 5 minutes. I know because someone put spyware(flexispy) on my phone. I'm currently looking into seeing as to whether or not there is any type of anti-spyware. In order to remove spyware, you have to restore your phone and do not back it up before you restore it, otherwise you will restore the spyware as well. Be prepared to lose everything music, pictures, contacts etc...
