I've been feeling uneasy lately, especially when using Google Maps. It seems like my phone might be compromised. I've experienced some strange occurrences, like receiving explicit content I never searched for, and I don't watch that kind of stuff. I'm not sure if it's related to my social media being too exposed or something else entirely. Is there a reliable way to check if my iPhone 13 is being mirrored or if I'm being phished?

There are definitely apps that allow for some level of monitoring, especially regarding location and possibly accessing your camera or microphone. If you're feeling suspicious, it might be a good idea to check your app permissions and delete anything that seems sketchy. And yeah, a full reset of your device could help add an extra layer of security if you really think something's up.
Honestly, there isn't really a concept of "phone mirroring" like some people think. It’s not as easy as just entering your phone number and peeping everything you're doing in real-time. However, there are apps out there that can track your location or access some of your data. If you think you've been hacked, it could be coming from these kinds of apps rather than full-on mirroring.
I get what you're saying, but doesn't that still leave room for some level of privacy invasion?
But can someone really not see what you're doing on your phone in real time from another device?
