Therefore, hackers, having gained access to your smartphone, can simply rob you. In this article, I will tell you the clear signs that your smartphone has been jailbroken, which means you need to take immediate action.

The first and clear signs of a smartphone being hacked

So, the first sign that your phone has been attacked is a sharp deviation of its operation from the usual algorithm. That is, if it independently begins to overload and turn on. Shows independence and installs applications without permission.

Also, a clear sign of a hack is the presence in the logs of calls and sent messages that you did not make. In addition, you need to be on your guard if the very quality of communication has sharply deteriorated with confident signal reception (there are serious delays in establishing communication and an incomprehensible kind of noise).

Another (albeit indirect indicator) may be a sharp increase in phone battery consumption, its quite noticeable heating in idle mode and the same jumped traffic consumption without obvious reasons.

What to do if signs appear

So, if you have several of the above "symptoms" at once, then you should thoroughly check all applications installed on the phone. Then uninstall all suspicious applications, disable any redirects.

Well, the most effective option would be to roll back the phone to factory settings. Yes, in this case, you will lose all previously saved data on your phone, but with a 99% probability you will destroy the malware that got on your phone.
