This is what I think too.

Go to settings to Privacy & Security, clear all permissions, and put phone in lock-down.
Ok, I did all of that and everything looks normal. She doesn’t have social media or anything like that. What am I looking for that could be spyware?
there is an incredibly low chance that there is spyware. don't let these people scare you. I am older than your daughter so I know that she is most likely playing single-player games on her phone with her friend (or something of the sort). people are claiming that it could be malware, but there is a zero percent chance your daughter got malware on her phone unknowingly.

+1. What if they are just playing games?Don’t jump to the conclusion they are doing something bad. If you are really that worried, talk to your kid and ask what’s going on.
