A few hours ago I noticed random flashing of on-screen icons as if they were being pressed but nothing happening. This was occurring as I swiped from icon page to icon page, and still happened even when I didn’t swipe. I immed switched the ph off and restarted. So far nothing more.
Is it possible for scammers to somehow connect to the device and download my data by simply using an IP address? I thought software was required with both parties signing on. Thanks.

Slasher unless some one rushes with an answer in the next few hours I intend to refer this to a friend who works for Iphone tech support when he gets off duty later tonight.
Which Iphone you have and which operating version system do you use?

Re: Flashing iPhone icons on screen
My friend suggests to press both home button and sleep wet button until the iPhone switches off three times. A hard reset which will erase nothing. Don't do that while it is connected to a computer.
Has the problem appeared after an update.
Please let us know if it works.

Yep it worked RiS thanks.
Fuctifino why it did what it did. I only recently upgraded to 12.4 from 11.1 so I dunno if it’s some form of Apple crap they didn’t say nothing about. Still I won’t take chances if it happens again.

Glad I was able to help. I was not sure it wouldn't work because the orders were dictated next to a noisy avenue. As a side note my friend says that the recent op system updates do give trouble.
