How do I know if someone has physically accessed my phone?

Hello ! I hope I'm at the good place. A friend of mine asked me :

How do I know if someone has physically accessed my phone? Knowing that this person knows my unlock code. Also, how do I know I'm not being spied on remotely?

I didn't have the answer and thought I might as well ask there. Thank you.

EDIT : His phone is a Samsung Z Fold 3 is that can help !

It would depend on the type of phone. Is it an iPhone or Android?

It's an Android.

EDIT : A Samsung Z Fold 3 to be more precise.

Check for apps that are running in the background after you have closed everything.

From what I understood, it didn't just happened. A certain person knows things about him that he never told, or something like that.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. That's a nice idea.

It could be semi-public details. A google search and someone’s social media can give you a lot of information on a person, depending on how safe their internet practices are. Generally all you need are two or three details to find out more personal information if you wanted to.
