I'm curious if there's any kind of malware or spyware that might be able to access apps like WhatsApp on an iPhone 15 Pro. Specifically, can anything out there screen record or save data without the user knowing?

Nope, there really isn’t any malware that can do that. iOS is pretty secure, and it’s tough for hackers to crack the system or even create a jailbreak. So, you’re generally safe from that kind of stuff on your iPhone.
There are indeed parental control apps that can monitor calls, messages, and even record your screen, but those require physical access to your device to install. They can’t just sneak in and install themselves without you knowing.
Good point! If a monitoring app were installed, you’d likely see its icon on your home screen, plus iOS shows indicators for camera and audio usage, so you’d be alerted if something was accessing those features.
