I was checking the battery usage on my iPhone for the past 19 days and i see “Recently deleted apps” listed as 6h 14m on screen and 3h 25m on screen. I haven’t deleted any apps recently (especially one that i would spend 6 hours on). What could possibly cause this? Thanks, looking forward to someone’s response!

While smartphones themselves can't harbor malicious intent, we must actively fortify their defenses. Tighten your device settings, be mindful of how you sync, and protect your digital treasure trove by safeguarding sensitive information with your loved ones. Don't underestimate the power of simple security measures. Employ strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and regularly update software.
However, the vulnerabilities lie in our usage and connectivity. Unsecured settings, careless syncing, and oversharing sensitive information can transform this innocuous device into a Trojan horse for attackers. Vigilance is key.
If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...
If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
Hey, thanks for the response, but should the possibility of remote access through an app be my first concern?
I’ve checked thoroughly and i have no apps on my device that i’m unaware of, and i don’t hand my device over to anyone. And as far as jailbreaking goes, i have never considered it. If remote access through an app is a possibility, could the app be hidden?
Ive also read that an app update can cause this to appear, but i’m not too sure.
I also noticed this on a friend’s device running 18.5, while one that was running an earlier version, didn’t have it.
Why is it reflecting recently deleted apps in my battery settings when I have not deleted any app?
