So I had a weird thing happen today. For no apparent reason an app was installed on my phone. It was a dollar general app. I don't even know what the purpose of that app would be but I definitely didn't install it. It's uninstalled now but I'm worried that my phone might be compromised. Any suggestions on how to protect myself here? Maybe hard reset the phone?

Do you share an iTunes/iCloud account with someone? Depending on settings, if someone installs an app it will install on all the others.

OP better delete his Ashley Maddison app ASAP!

ETA: Or worse yet look for hers to show up on his!

They are listening, you probably told your mom to stop by Dollar General.

So Siri figured you liked it so much you needed the app.

I have a Walmart app that shows up on my truck screen.
