What is webcap? Why did it just show up on my iPhone? I’ve never seen it before!

OK, I have lots of problems with my iPhone all the time I just found an app called WebCap. Does anybody know what WebCap is?

Is it supposed to be on my phone? Can somebody use it to spy on me and get my passwords when I typed them in with it, ?

Are you sharing your Apple ID with others?


Settings > App Stores > [Automatic Downloads Section ] Apps > Disable. Please see the pic below

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
