I think I’ve installed an app from a fake pop up alert on safari in my old iPhone 7 ios 15.5 . Because I was dumb, so now I know that these apps are spy ware apps. and I’m worried if I was hacked and seen trough my iPhone camera.
does Apple let these apps get installed outside App Store? and what are the signs that shows that I could be watched and hacked?
iPhone 13, iOS 16

Thank you for your feedback and you're welcome.
It is highly recommended always download / purchase apps, music, ringtones, etc. from App Store or iTunes Store.
Try to remove that app, then -> Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

No, if you haven't jailbroken your iPhone, it's not possible.
