Data Spikes Without Reason: Go to Settings > Cellular to see if unknown apps are consuming excessive data.

Apps You Didn’t Install: If you spot unfamiliar apps on your home screen, delete them immediately.

Strange Safari Behavior: Frequent pop-ups, fake warnings, or random redirects may indicate malicious profiles.

Hidden Configuration Profiles: Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to remove suspicious profiles.
