why would i make this up? who does that??
Lots of people, when they're trying to play the victim.
Let's assume you're just not tech savvy. Which is not at all out of the question since everyone starts with no knowledge of how computers work.
By the way, we see this fairly often here. Someone thinks they're being funny and post the most ridiculous nonsense about how everything they own is hacked in the most impossible scenarios you will ever read. All in the name of "fun" (for them) to see how long they can string out their game. Like this beauty.
But, let's break down your comments so you can see why your first post struck me as made up.
iPhone 15 with iOS 18.2 hacked using developer software
Every single app ever created. Every single app you will ever use was or will be created by a developer. The software you mention, such as Apple's Xcode is developer software. But you use it to create apps a person can actually use to do something. Xcode itself, or any other software creation app cannot hack anything.
i know nothing about developing software or coding or anything
And yet, you claim you were hacked with developer software. How can a person know nothing, but still come up with that kind of conclusion?
like that its possible they got my phone while i was asleep or when i put it down because these people do get into my house anyway
Ever tried locking your doors and windows? If you do, just how are they getting inside. Do they just walk through the walls? Do you see the problem with your claim?
how do i take off what they did and how do i stop it from doing it again
You don't know what they did, or that anything happened at all, but you want to stop it.
i see it says so much of my disk is dirty
What? That doesn't even make sense. Not even if that's an actual message you got that from. And if so, where did you read that? In an email or text message? If either of those, it's a lie. Ignore and delete.
does that mean its on the phones hard drive
A hard drive refers to a mechanical rotating platter. That type of drive, after dominating data storage for decades, is now nearly a footnote in history. All iPhones have SSDs (Solid State Drives). There is no hard drive. It's the same basic design as USB flash drive, only about 1000 times faster than any cheap flash drive.
and will keep happening?
Not possible to answer since no one here knows what's happening.
