I recently discovered that my phone has been hacked, and it feels like my privacy has been completely invaded. The hacker can see all of my activities, including deleted Instagram messages and even my WhatsApp chats. I've seen screenshots of my WhatsApp conversations on their phone, and they seem to know everything I do on Google Chrome too. I'm really concerned about how this could happen and what I can do to secure my device. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Most hacks like this happen because someone close to you—like a significant other or sibling—might have installed spyware while having access to your phone. Getting into a phone remotely is really tricky unless you’ve mistakenly installed something sketchy. Just stay alert for any weird apps.
First things first, you should consider doing a factory reset on your phone and change all your passwords immediately. It sounds like whoever hacked you had physical access to your device at some point. Also, make sure that doesn't happen again! If you're worried about WhatsApp, they usually have guidance on their Help Page for reporting hacked accounts.
To put it simply, changing your passwords is essential! If you're worried about WhatsApp, remember that while it doesn’t have a password by itself, you can secure your account using two-step verification.
