Q: Iphone hacked? Null app in settings
Dear all,
letley I have the impression that my iPhone5s is being spied. It's not jailbroken (as far as I know) and I found an app in my settings today that does not appear on my regular app screens. The app in the list is nameless, with a blanc icon. If i open it only thing I see is: "Allow (Null) to access" where I can select "use cellular data"
so I discovered this strange app today, but yesterday my iPhone was responding suddenly verry slow, after a while normal again, today in the standby screen I saw that the location arrow was on. it dissaprared once I gave in my password, and this twice in 10 minutes. Doesn't happen anymore.
Any possibility to find out what this null app is? not like the idea that I might be spied on.
kind regards
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.2

Hi gillescoens,
So my understanding is that you found in your iPhone's settings an app that doesn't appear anywhere else. You don't know what it is and are concerned with your data security, is that right?
It is hard to say where this came from, but it is possible that this is just an app that was incompletely synced. I would suggest that you re-sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer to see if the issue resolves itself. This article shows how - Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely.
