If my phone is hacked, can spy apps be detected?

My phone has been acting weird lately and I think my ex could’ve put something on it before we split. Is there any way I could tell if there’s actually spyware hidden on there?

Hey Elena! Dealing with weird phone behavior is super frustrating, but good news – there are definitely ways to check! Keep an eye out for unusual battery drain, sudden data spikes, or if your phone heats up when you’re not even using it. Even though robust tools like Haqerra are designed to be super discreet, these tell-tale signs often give them away, so also peek at your app list for anything unfamiliar!
