It is extremely unlikely that someone can remotely access the data on your phone unless you have previously allowed this to occur, but it would not hurt to change your Apple ID and password.

It is not possible to remote control your iPhone unless it was physically hacked by someone who had possession of it for a half hour or more while it was unlocked.

If this did happen restore it to factory settings and set it up as a new phone→Restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support. Do not restore a backup.

That simply means that your screen digitizer has failed. It does not mean your phone was hacked. If it only happens when the phone is plugged in try replacing the cable. If it happens at other times get the screen replaced→iPhone Screen Repair & Replacement - Official Apple Support

1) I have seen them take control of my iphone 12 and attempt to switch apps.

2) I have seen them type on my keyboard, mostly to interrupt my typing.

3) Last night they typed “Me CCP” followed by giberrish.

If this only happens when connected to a charging cable, that indicates a faulty cable.

If it happens whether or not it’s plugged in, that’s symptomatic of a failing touch screen. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar and get it fixed.

Because part of the digitizer failure affects the keyboard buffer so the screen randomly recalls previous keystrokes and enters them. That is the hallmark of a digitizer failure and what you are describing fits it to a tee. Get the display replaced.

No one has remote access to your phone, unauthorized or otherwise.

Why do you think this is the case?

NO ONE is “taking control” of anything. It’s a hardware fault. Get it fixed.

Fine. Believe what you want. I’m done.
