@ElenoraV Oh, I was scared to even open that menu! So deleting weird profiles won’t mess up my phone, right? I just want to be safe and not break anything.
@chessmaster7 I get what you mean, it does feel like snooping, but sometimes I just want to make sure my stuff is safe. Is there a way to check for problems without digging into private things?
Here’s the reality:
- You can’t “clone” an iPhone remotely like in hacking movies. Apple’s security makes sure of that.
- To actually clone an iPhone (as in, duplicate data/settings), you need physical access—at least for a minute. Think: backups to iCloud (needs password/2FA) or direct data transfer (needs device in hand).
- There’s no app or tool that gives you a full, working clone remotely. Anything claiming otherwise is snake oil at best, a scam at worst.
- Remote access? Sure, some spyware can grab messages, photos, etc., if the phone is jailbroken (highly unlikely these days) or the iCloud password is compromised. But that’s not true cloning, just limited snooping.
- iOS locks down system files, so even law enforcement struggles without the phone in hand and a proper warrant.
Bottom line: No physical access, no full clone. Remote iPhone cloning is mostly fiction.
