Seeing as The NSO Group’s spyware has been popping up in a lot of places the company itself says that it shouldn’t be in, you might be worried that it might be on your phone. First of all, it’s very unlikely that it’s on your iPhone. But if you want that piece of mind of knowing it isn’t on your phone, iMazing has come out with a version of their software that “easily” detects the NSO Spyware. You can read all about it here. And the spyware detection functionality is free.

In the unlikely event that your iPhone has the NSO Group’s spyware on it, here’s what iMazing says to do:

If you get a positive scan, please send us the analysis report at https://imazing.com/contact – we will check it for false positives and get back to you quickly. In the meantime, you should refrain from any communications which may put you at risk. If you or a relative are active in a politically sensitive context, you should immediately remove your sim card from your iPhone, fully power it down, and seek expert advice.

I’ll be testing this in the coming days and I will let you know how it goes.
