I need help , I believe someone either hacked my phone with spyware

as I’m writing this down I currently believe they are watching as I explain why I believe someone used some type of spyware to tap into my phone and currently see what I’m doing on my phone, text messages, social media and ext… I need help from apple support on any help I can get or do I need a new phone altogether along with a new sim card ? I have suspicion on who could be doing this to me. Before I resort to the police, I need help from you guys on any possible answers!
