Netflix downloaded by itself

Does anybody else’s phone just download apps by itself? I just saw that Netflix appeared on my screen among my apps, but I did not download it. This happened after I updated to iOS 15.5 and I want to know what happened

That happens when an Apple ID is being shared, and somebody else installs an app and other decices are set to also install new downloads. It can also happen when a passcode is being shared, and a purchase is downloaded by another user of the device.


Is an Apple ID being shared here? That ends badly, and for various reasons.


Does someone else know your passcode, and has downloaded the app on your device?


if not, your Apple ID seems to be compromised.
