Help I think my phone is being tapped. I’m very well aware that the iPhone is the most common smart phone that people use, but I think my phone is being tapped. I have very few friends or followers, so i often talk to myself. I’m not a very loud person, but it always seems like everyone knows what I’m thinking. Nothing feels natural to me. Pictures that I haven’t posted on the internet, it’s as if everyone’s seen them or something. I’m grown in my late 20s but I feel like there’s some type of parental controls on my phone. I pay my own phone bill. Sometimes even when I work a job, coworkers make smart slick comments to me even though I don’t talk to them outside of work. I’ve tried turning off my phone location. I can’t tell if there’s a camera on phone that’s recording me or if it’s just an audio thing or both. Can someone help me fix this issue.

Tapping an iPhone is very hard; but as Pegasus showed, not impossible.

As a precaution, Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Lockdown Mode --> Turn on Lockdown Mode. Follow the instructions -- all of them. If this does not remedy your problem, it’s you.

One other thing: have you been to another country shortly before this began? The PRC comes to mind. I’ve read advice to take advice take a burner when take a burner when visiting the PRC. I believe it tries to tap into all foreign visitors phones.
