If the police bugged or tapped your iPhone, they would need 2 things...

1 - Physical access to your iphone to install something

2 - A warrant to do so

There isn't any spyware for the iPhone. So no clean-up necessary.

Not in the App Store, there isn't. Unless you have jailbroken your phone, you've nothing to worry about.

If your phone is NOT jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about. If it is, then you brought it on yourself by choosing to bypass the security that's built into iOS.

Is your phone jailbroken?

Two minutes on the Spybubble site would have found this:

And, for completeness, probably lock you phone to whichever carrier the original hacker favoured....

Katie456 - How did you find out that your ex did this?

Again. If your phone is not jailbroken. It was not "hacked".

If your phone was jailbroken the only thing we can advise is to put your phone in DFU mode and restore it.

Vipre.

Have you read any of this thread?

If it is not jailbroken, the spyware can't be installed.

"My son's previous phone was a Driod and my ex installed spyware"

I read it that the Droid had the spyware and not the iPhone

The previous phone was an Android. The current one is an iPhone, or else she wouldn't be here. At least that's how I read it.

Thank you. Is there a way to prevent a phone from being Jailbroken

Keep it in your personal possession, just as you would a laptop computer or anything else of value. Physical possession of an iPhone, even for a few moments, makes anything possible.

Think of it as you would your wallet. How far do you allow that to get out of your grasp?
