I am looking for a anti-spyware app for my iphone 13.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

iMazing can analyse your backups for signs of compromise like Pegasus, but the nature of iOS means that there's no spyware scanners in the way that you would get on a desktop as the operating system doesn't permit them .
If you are concerned a restart of the phone will purge anything from memory and reload from the signed iOS software image, eliminating the highly unlikely chance you have a compromise
