How can I find out if someone has hacked my phone

I have no control over my phone. It’s like someone else has taken over. I can’t dail someone number, I can’t download something and it text messages to my friends and I can’t get into my main email

iPhone SE, 16

Unless you have jailbroken your phone or someone has had physical access to your unlocked phone or you are a high-profile journalist, politician, or activist whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire, your phone has not been hacked.


It sounds as if you may have a hardware problem, possibly a failing touchscreen. Contact Apple to have your phone evaluated:
