How To Tell If Spyware Is Hiding On Your iPhone

How To Tell If Spyware Is Hiding On Your iPhone

If you chose to spare yourself the manual labor and paid for an AntiSpy tool like the one linked above, it is likely the tool will suggest steps you can take, such as removing an infected file or module or uninstalling an app. If, however, you are using MVT, the tool will show you a list of problematic files or installed apps that may be causing a potential spyware scare. MVT will also create a list of potentially harmful websites one might have visited. But since MVT does not work on fixing those issues on your behalf, you will likely have to follow the required steps to ensure your iPhone is safe.

Once you’ve scanned your device, make note of suspicious apps, and uninstall them from your iPhone. In case of an essential app, such as WhatsApp, reinstall the app but avoid restoring any data that is already present on your device since that might reinfect the iPhone. 

Likewise, you want to delete files that look unfamiliar or malicious. If a necessary file has been infected or flagged as dangerous, quarantine it in a RAR or ZIP file and transfer the compressed file to your PC, where you can scan it using desktop-based antivirus software. If you are uncomfortable doing that, hire a security expert who might be able to secure the file for you.

Lastly, if MVT points at troublesome links in your browser, it would be in your best interest to clear your web browser’s history.
