Hi Thomas, thanks for this info, but I don't see an app that I didn't download I've changed my password and added the two factor authentication.

Is there anything else that I can do to check if anything has been stolen from my iPhone? Jan 26, AM in response to naronsons In response to naronsons. Your phone itself hasn't been hacked, unless 1 you hacked it yourself by jailbreaking it and then got infected with malware, or 2 someone malicious has had physical access to your phone. There's no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone if neither of these conditions is met. So, nothing has been stolen from your phone. Online accounts of any kind are another story entirely, and can easily be hacked, but this would not be related to any mysterious icons showing up on the iOS desktop.

Jan 28, PM in response to cynthial78 In response to cynthial Same happened to me and I think I found out why. I had downloaded the Discover Magazine in the apple newsstand app a few days prior. For some reason it created the "red letter D" icon on one of my home screens when I downloaded a new unrelated app. I noticed in iTunes that the "red letter D" app had changed to the discover magazine icon.

Once I figured this out, I deleted the discover magazine app from the Newstand app and then the "red letter D" app disappeared as well. At least that worked for me. Hope that helps. Jan 28, PM.
