Suppose I left my phone somewhere, and someone who has the passcode accessed the phone without telling me, and then returned it to me. Is there anyway I can know for sure that they did this? (alien.top)

Just wondering about this. I’m sure it’s possible. You can look at certain histories on apps and on browsers within the phone. But can you know whether or not someone entered the phone, looked at photos, contacts, etc. I’m sure it’s technologically possible to do this

You can do a half swipe up to see all the open apps and see what was opened recently. That’s about it though. If any photos were air dropped, there is no record of that.

Thought so. I’m sure someone could find out this, like if the phone was sent to lab at Apple, but that’s not gonna happen

In a situation like that, Screen Time (built-in feature) may give you some hints; explore it to see what sort of information is available. Based on that info, since Screen Time gives a daily/hourly breakdown of app usage, you could conjecture what apps were used for how long at which times, although all this info usually can't be determined precisely.

Why do they have your passcode? That sounds like the probative issue.
