No, your iPhone has almost certainly not been hacked or monitored. What you're looking at is a standard informational message created by an Apple Engineer for internal needs and it present on everyone's iPhone in some form or another. This is what often comes from people who are not Apple Engineers looking at system logs and drawing erroneous conclusions.


For the message from Google, it could be a number of things, including CAPTCHA failures, an app contacting them without being properly registered with Google, or something similar. Again, it almost certainly does not mean that your iPhone has been hacked.


As to the errors from Verizon, that would be something you should take up with them.


Regards.

Dialing whatever string of numbers and symbols you dialed to get those messages from Verizon will not work with Verizon. It never has. You'll always get error messages. The reason lies in the legacy network infrastructure that Verizon used. You'll get no useful information by doing that.


And no, you don't speak for all females. Or all women.

If you don’t ask, you will never know. My phone is brand new, with no apps installed so i couldn’t understand the reason for the crash logs. As well as the reason for my call forwarding errors. Also, just being that I am not an apple engineer, or any engineer of any sort, is the reason, I reached out for answers…

I apologize for taking the time out of ur day to answer such non-sense. I will take to finding my answers in an encyclopedia somewhere in my local library. Thank you.
