iPhone 6 most likely hacked. Please help.

I know everybody says its "impossible" for an iPhone to be hacked if it's not jail broken or in the possession of the hacker, but too many concerning things have been happening lately to lead me to believe it's hacked. No, it is not jail broken and no it has not been in the possession of anybody. Not only is my battery draining crazy fast, but this person who I suspect is doing the hacking I have heard talking about something I never said to anybody out loud, and has been posting things on social media that directly correlate with the exact thing I was very previously just talking to my friends about either over text or Skype. If it happened once, or twice, okay, maybe a coincidence. But this has happened far too many times in such close time proximity that it cannot be a coincidence. My friends absolutely hate this person I suspect is doing this, so I know they're not telling them anything.

I frequently check my iCloud to see what devices are signed in, and it's always just my iPhone, so I know it's not my iCloud that's hacked. I also frequently change my passwords and have Lookout Security on my phone. It really baffles me, and scares me.

If there is any possible way I could find out for sure if somebody is spying on my phone, please let me know.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

If you don't want to pursue legal council/police investigation, then you could redo your computer.

The only communications seen in iCloud would be email and notes. Nothing else is visible there...

Backup everything and erase the drive on your computer.

Install a fresh version (not factory) of the OS preferably Windows 7 or 10

Do NOT run more than one antivirus program (adversely affects performance)

hey how are you doing

it is very easy for someone to hack anyones phone

as long as they have your phone number

they don't need you device

you can change your number but then he can just hack your friends and wait till you call them and now he will have your new number

unfortunately there is no way for you to protect yourself from someone hacking your phone and listening to your conversations and tracking your location

you can watch the episode that aired on 60minutes tv show on cbs

if you use a iPhone you can call and message other iPhone users via iMessage and FaceTime audio

or whatsapp encrypted version

signal app

there are a few more encrypted apps that work well

by using these apps to communicate you will make it a lot more complicated for the hacker to snoop on you

not impossible to hack but it won't be as easy

No, it’s not that easy.

They didn't hack the phone. They hacked the telco network.

The creator of Lookout stands to make money if they can scare people into believing it's that easy to hack someone's phone.

If it's very easy why did the FBI pay $1 million to hack one phone?

Frankly your evidence for thinking you've been hacked is pretty thin. You've shared information with other people and then had it quoted back by another person? And that's it? I reckon it's a real leap to think that your phone's been hacked from that. There are far more mundane explanations.

We did. We also have restraining orders. Unfortunately however you can imagine it is a very challenging situation when the hacker/stocker is adept at manipulating their digital fingerprint.
