TOP 10 SIGNS THAT YOUR MOBILE IS HACKED

SLOWER THAN BEFORE
Malware running in the background can impact the performance of device and malware transmissions can slow down a device's network connection.
However, updates to a device's OS can sometimes cause a device to suffer from decreased performance, so don't panic if you just updated your OS and performance now seems degraded.

STRANGE MESSAGES
If your friends or colleagues report that they receive messages that you didn't send, something may be amiss. Likewise, if you see strange text messages coming in, they may be related to a breach.
#8.
NEW APPS WELCOME YOU
Your device manufacturer or service provider may legitimately install apps from time to time due to updates, if new apps are suddenly appearing you want to be sure that is a kosher. Do a google search about the app and read the sites details and check the security measures of the application.

HEATING ISSUE
Extra coding running in the background which is constantly monitoring and capturing user activity results, it may result in increase of phone's temperature than normal.

UNUSUAL SERVICE DISRUPTIONS
If you experience calls being dropped, the inability to make calls at times when you appear to have good signal strength, or strange noises occur during phone conversations, something maybe not right in your device. Normally it is defined to be a technical issue unrelated to breach, but that is not always the case.
#3.
EMAIL BLOCKED BY SPAM FILTERS
If email sent from your device is suddenly getting blocked by spam filters it could be a sign that yoir email configuration has been changed and email is now being relayed via some unauthorized server that is allowing a nefarious party to read your messages.
#2.
INCREASED USE OF DATA OR SMS
If you monitor your data or SMS usage and see greater use than expected, especially if that increase begins after some "suspicious event" that may be a malware is transmitting data from your device to other parties.
