how to check if keylogger has been installed on iphone 4?
Is there any way to check my iphone 4 for keylogger or spyware (basically anything of that nature)?

I have done a restore and a restore to factory settings. However the individual that has access to my phone has access on a regular basis. Ill try and not bring marital issues into this lol. He also happens to be pretty good and at this sort of thing. So you see that's why I was asking if there could possibly be some software that is trusted to snoop out anything malicious.
A keylogger or spyware, while not impossible, is unlikely. Most likely it's just a corrupted file in the iPhone's operating system. Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it. If not, then the iPhone has probably developed a hardware problem in which case you'll need to take or send it to Apple.

Yes someone has had access to the phone. I did a search for cydia but nothing came up. My phone has been acting funny lately that's why I asked about a key logger. The phone sometimes runs so hot that I can't hardly touch it, it's freezing up a lot and while on safari after a web page initially loads it sticks I guess (can't interact with safari) and it shows the loading bar again then I can interact. That's with every page that I load. Also I apologize if any of this is confusing I am trying to type this on my phone and wrestle with my twins lol. So if I didn't make sense anywhere let me know and I will gladly reiterate. Thank you for the quick response as well it is greatly appreciated.
If he jailbreaks it, he could install all sorts of junk on it. There will be nothing that can scan the iPhone for any such garbage, so your only options are either to 1) keep the iPhone out of this individual's hands or 2) restore it on a regular basis.

A software keylogger would probably record keystrokes and take a screenshot of Phone monitor in stealth mode.
See more about How to Detect If a Keylogger is Installed:
a keylogger's purpose is to collect activity the users performs on the device
and spy and not be noticed
producing heat and making it act funny would beat that purpose
often people see bugs or otherwise behaviour they don't understand as virus, hacking, keylogging, spyware, malware, trojan horse or whatever term he or she been exposed to by media and friends of late
Do a spotlight search for "Cydia". Have you let someone have unattended access to your iPhone for more than a half-hour?
Your link has absolutely nothing to do with the possibility of a keylogger on an iPhone.
I'm curious... how do you think your link is pertinent to this iPhone discussion?
