4. Change your passwords.

If you think your iPhone may have been used to access your accounts, you should change your passwords. This will help to prevent the spyware from being used to steal your information.

5. Be careful about what you click on.

Spyware is often spread through malicious websites and apps. Be careful about what you click on, and only download apps from trusted sources.
