I recently visited a friend's house and connected to their Wi-Fi. They mentioned that they can see everything I'm doing on my devices. A mutual friend suggested that my "hacker" friend might have done something to their router to mirror any activity on their network remotely. I'm concerned because even after deleting apps, my phone continues to overheat, and a specific note about the hacking I had in my notes app has completely disappeared—only that note. I'm looking for advice on how to remove this potential issue from my iPhone 16, which is fully updated. Any help would be appreciated!

If your phone is overheating, a factory reset could be a good start to clearing any potential issues. It should help resolve any problems you're facing with your device.
Honestly, it might be time to reconsider your friendships! This situation sounds sketchy—finding new friends could lead to a more secure environment.
Absolutely! Thank you!
What your friend is claiming seems off. While it’s true that they can log traffic over their network, they can't see your encrypted data unless they install a certificate on your phone. Did you allow that? Most of your online activities are secured with SSL, so if neither of you installed anything, it should be fine. The overheating may just be a coincidence. If you're really worried, a factory reset and avoiding their Wi-Fi is a smart move.
Thank you! But how can I stop the mirroring of my phone?
