Possible i’ve been hacked?

So, the last few days i’ve noticed when im on my phone it suddenly starts doing wierd stuff without me touching the screen myself.

For example i was watching a youtube video and all of a sudden it started fast forwarding the video without myself touch the screen.

The other day i was victim of fraudulent purchases from my paypal, could it be somebody has gained access to my phone and is able to control it? And if so, how do i fix it?

Factory reset?

It's more likely you have a defective display, especially if it's been replaced before.

Thanks alot, for the fast reply. I read something about that, its never been replaced. But it is getting old.

Maybe i should just take my xr in use and, though its too new version to be able to jailbreak yet :/

Very likely iPhone is not hacked. But if it makes you feel better, change your Apple ID password and PayPal password. Odd screen behavior could just be a fantom touch.

There is no way someone can remote control your phone. Security is one of the good things about the Apple ecosystem.

Your touch system is getting inputs from the defective array. As per PayPal, more likely that's an actual unauthorized transaction due to an easily guessed password.

Update your password for your relevant financial institutions and make an appointment at Apple to diagnose your device.
