These 6 signs are seen when the phone is hacked
Battery draining quickly
If your phone is consuming more battery, then it can be a sign of some unwanted activity in the background. Yes, there may be some malware hidden in your phone which is sharing your data somewhere else in the background. In such a situation, go to the apps once and check whether there is any such app here that you do not know about.
The device heating up repeatedly.
If your phone is heating up without much use, some malware may be doing this. However, now summer has also arrived, and your phone can heat, but if the phone is getting hot even at normal temperature, then it may be due to a virus in the phone.
Mobile data running out quickly.
At the same time, if you are using less data but your data consumption has suddenly increased, then some apps may be stealing your information. This is also a sign of the phone being hacked.
Unknown apps appearing
If you are seeing an app on your phone that you have not installed and yet new apps are appearing, then be careful immediately. First check this unknown app to see if it is a system app. If it is not a system app, then delete it first.
Receiving such messages or calls
At the same time, if you are getting too many calls or messages from unknown numbers for the last few days or messages are being sent automatically from your number, then this is a sign of big danger. In such a case, immediately save your phone data and reset it.
The device turns off and on automatically.

Download all the apps only from the official app store.
