Although devices IPhone It is generally considered safe, thanks to Apple's efforts over the past years and up to now in prioritizing the security of its smartphones. Its walled garden also gives it a better advantage over Android phones when it comes to privacy and protection. However, there is certain information: no device is completely immune or immune to various security threats. For this reason, you must be aware of the potential risks that may befall your device and how to deal with them. Here are 5 signs that your iPhone has been hacked. Beware of them.
Battery drains quickly
One of the first signs that your iPhone may be hacked is a rapid and unexplained decline in battery life. Malware or malicious apps running in the background can consume a lot of battery power. If you notice that your battery is draining its power faster than usual, you need to investigate further.
Go to Settings then Battery to view total battery usage. You can see the battery consumption for the last 24 hours as well as the last ten days. You will also be able to view battery usage by each app. If you tap on an app, it will show the amount of time it was in use on the screen and in the background. If you notice anything unusual, such as an unknown app draining your battery life, delete it immediately. Let's move on to the next sign that may indicate that your device has been hacked.
Anonymous applications
Unknown applications are one of the important warning signs that largely indicate that your iPhone has been hacked. When you find an application that you did not install on your smartphone, nor did your son, wife, or brother install it without your knowledge, this immediately means that the hacker has installed it on your device remotely by exploiting one of the system vulnerabilities or perhaps through phishing. . You should be aware that these applications are considered a backdoor that hackers can exploit to access important data or even spy on and monitor you. Therefore, if you find an unknown application, you immediately need to remove it from the iPhone permanently.
Apple ID hack
Did you receive an email saying that your Apple ID was used to sign in to a device you don't know or was used for some activity you don't know about? Have you noticed suspicious things on your iPhone, such as deleted items that you did not delete or messages that you did not send? All of these signs are just indicators that your Apple ID has been hacked and your account is in the grip of a hacker. When such anonymous activities occur, you should immediately change your account password, update your security information, and activate two-factor authentication to enhance protection on your smartphone.
Heavy cellular data usage
Many of us do not use the phone package or cellular data on a regular basis because we do not rely only on them and also connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. Therefore, if you discover that the Internet package on the iPhone expires more quickly than usual and does not continue until the renewal date, this may be a sign of... Something fishy. If your iPhone is hacked, it is possible that hidden programs or malicious applications running on your device are connected to the Internet and passing your information to the hacker, which will quickly increase the usage of the package. To see how much cellular data you're using, go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data. Scroll down to see which apps consume excessive cellular data. If you notice that an app is eating up your data, then it would be best to get rid of it and perhaps reinstall it again.
Jailbreak
Jailbreaking removes restrictions that Apple imposes on the operating system in order to protect your iPhone. Thus, when you jailbreak the iPhone in order to install some applications or make some modifications to the system. It will cause the protection to be broken and make hackers' work easier. Because the system becomes weak and the protection mode that Apple imposes on applications is disabled, after which any hacker can install malicious applications and then control your iPhone with ease. If you notice some strange applications that did not exist before, such as Cydia or Sileo, it is possible that your iPhone is in the grip of a hacker. Because those apps need physical access to the device in order to install them, and if you haven't installed them, someone else has installed them.
Finally, owning an iPhone means you have a smartphone that provides the best possible protection. However, you should be careful while dealing with suspicious links and unknown websites. Also, do not try to install any applications except through the App Store. If you find one of the signs that we explained in the article, immediately search for strange applications and get rid of them. You also need to update the operating system and use a reliable antivirus to help you remove any threat to the iPhone easily and quickly.

What is the benefit of iPhone gold coins and how is it used?
Welcome, Bahri 🌊, iPhone gold coins are a type of design used in iPhone packaging to give it a luxurious and elegant look. These coins are often used in limited edition or special edition devices. However, these are not real currencies and are not used as a means of payment or exchange. They are added only to increase the aesthetics and quality of the design. 📱✨
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
What are the benefits of iPhone gold coins and how do we use them?
It is used in tools such as downloading videos from social media
Thank you for the article. What are the best App programs to protect against these hacks or even alert them to them? And thank you
Hello Ali 🙋♂️, among the reliable programs for protection and alerting of intrusions are “Lookout” and “Avast Security & Privacy”, but always remember that caution and safe handling of links and e-mail is an essential step for protection. We are always at your service 🍏💚.
I am also suffering from battery drain problem and I want to know who hacked my device
Hello Nigella! 😊
Firstly, regarding the battery drain issue, it can be caused by apps running in the background and consuming power. You can check this by visiting “Settings” and then “Battery” to see which apps are consuming the most power.
Secondly, regarding knowing whether your device is hacked or not, there are several signs that you should monitor such as the presence of unknown applications, excessive data usage, and others.
I hope this helps solve the problem! 🍏📱💪
Made for iPhone, this article applies to Android devices
Since 2007 I haven't seen the iPhone hacked
Hello Salman 😊, There is no doubt that the iPhone is one of the most secure devices, but as I mentioned in the article, no device is completely immune to security threats. Caution and proper dealing with suspicious applications and links is the first weapon to keep your device safe 🛡️.
How can I protect my device from hacking?
Advice: Use an encrypted DNS and a VPN connection
iPhone hacking is difficult and expensive for poor ordinary people like me
Hi Abdullah 🙋♂️, Thank you for your valuable advice on using an encrypted DNS and VPN connection to enhance security. Indeed, these steps can add an extra layer of protection. Always remember, security in the world of technology is like a game of cat and mouse, we always follow up to ensure that our system is as secure as possible. 🛡️😉
I would also like to add that jailbreak prevents updates from arriving
Hello, world of iOS and technology 🌍📱, what you mentioned regarding the jailbreak is true. When you perform the jailbreak process, Apple’s automatic updates system is actually disabled. This is one of the risks associated with this process, as in addition to the unavailability of security updates, this may also lead to the unavailability of the latest features and improvements from Apple. Therefore, we always advise staying away from the jailbreak process, no matter the temptations! 🚫🍎
I do not use jailbreak at all
I know that if I use it, I will be released from Apple's prison, which is security
It is true that there are advantages to installing a jailbreak, but at the same time there are disadvantages
My iPhone is mine. When I leave it at night until the morning, the charge never drops, and during use it is only normal. Frequent use of calls with contacts. I feel that the charge drops more than when I use the phone on Facebook or YouTube. Is this normal? If it is abnormal, how is it treated? Thank you for your instructions.
I use Google Mail for email and it stores contacts because they are not lost if they are lost like iCloud. Is there any harm in using Google Mail?
Hello Fares Al-Janabi! 🙋♂️
Battery shortage may be due to your intensive use of communications, as voice calling consumes more power than other applications. To improve battery performance, you can modify your phone settings to reduce battery consumption. 📱🔋
As for using Google Mail, there is no harm in that! Google takes user privacy seriously and uses encryption to protect user data. So keep using it if it works well for your needs. 📧💪
I hope this information helps, and I look forward to helping you with more Apple questions! 😊🍎
Nice and useful article. Thank you. The most harmful and despicable application is TikTok. Beware of it. Anyone who has this application should delete it immediately. Thank you.
Thanks for the information and warnings
I expect this application has an English name, but Glory be to God, even in Arabic there is a female officer, as if you were saying there is a spy in it
Hi
Is downloading an anti-virus practical and useful for the iPhone and helps enhance user privacy protection, or does it slow down the speed of the device and drain the battery quickly?
There is no antivirus on the iPhone. When there is a vulnerability, this vulnerability may be exploited to enter your device, and updates usually eliminate these vulnerabilities. So just always update your device.
thanks for the information
Please write a topic about the Pegasus application and whether Apple has addressed its vulnerabilities and where the topic has reached
This application, from what I heard, can be installed remotely on any iPhone without a phishing or social engineering link
Meaning, once the hacker decides to target you, he succeeds with every iPhone without any resistance or intervention from the user
Zero click
Is this true?
Hello Muhammad 👋, yes it is true, the application you are talking about (Pegasus) was using the “Zero Click” vulnerability to hack without the need to click on any link. But Apple was keen to fix this vulnerability in its latest updates. 🍏💪 We always recommend updating your device to the latest version of iOS to ensure maximum security and privacy. 📱✅
I hope that all the readers of Phone Islam know that as long as they use the Internet, they are not safe from hacking, fraud, suspicious links and scams. Whoever calls Apple a walled garden is wrong. It is a sea, not a garden. A sea full of good and bad.
Thank you very much
May God reward you with good effort
