Jailbreak possibility

How can I detect if my iPhone (iphone8 IOS 14.4.1) has been “jailbroken”? Can that be done covertly? If jailbroken, how do I recover the iOS without losing all of my data, contacts, etc?


thanks in advance for any tips!

If you didn't do it yourself another person would need control of your device for more than 30 minutes.

Restoring a jailbroke device deletes the data on it.
