Issue with screen shot & cloning of I cloud

I would not expect your phone is hacked at all, but your Apple Account may certainly be compromised. You will need to review the devices signed into your account by going to Settings > [name on top], and scrolling to the bottom, along with changing your Apple Account password.

I wouldn't recommend any VPN if you are thinking they are providing security, in fact the opposite is true where they open a huge security hole and all network traffic is routed to those third party servers where many of the data breaches occur. Here is some more info on VPN use:

What do you mean by a clone ID exists? Anyone that has access to your Apple Account can delete/add numbers on the web where they are synced to your phone. That may look like your phone is hacked, it is actually your account and nothing is wrong with your phone. The same is true for photos when using iCloud Photos where they can be added and deleted, where those changes will be synced to your phone. They don't have any access to the device..
