Can you put spyware on an iPhone remotely?

The reason I ask is because, somehow my Father installed spyware on my iphone 6 that allowed my Parents to see my text messages. I don't know how He did this since I keep good track of where my phone is, and it never went missing. Also, how would He bypass the passcode lock to do it? I have since updated IOS disabling it hopefully!

I need some advice on how to deal with being a victim of online shopping fraud?

Ok so i'm really pissed at what this guy has done. I paid him for an iphone 7 via bank transfersand we agreed he'd post it. As soon as I sent screenshots as proof he blocked me so i can't contact him. I've reported the ad but they seem to be taking time in taking it down. I also reported to action fraud and waiting for a reply though i doubt they'd do much. Well anyway I have come up with a plan but need advice on it.
btw my parents paid for the phone and this happened last night so they still don't know about it. They're gonna kill me so i really need some good news for them.
Anyway, I know this guys name, full address, phone number and email. It'd take me 5hrs driving to get there but I have a uncle close by who can easily pop down. I have all this info. But what should i do? Should i get my uncle to go speak to him? Should he take the police with him? Should i report it to the police and let them take further action?(hate this option btw)
Help!

Added (1). let me just tell you guys how i got his info.
Name: from bank details
Address: We agreed with collection and then i changed to post
Phone number/email: Communication and website

Help transfering photos from iPhone to iMac please

I have photos on my iPhone that I'm trying to transfer to my iMac. When i open up the photos app in my mac, it only shows photos that I've imported in the past and then it shows only the photos I've taken today. Its not showing all of the photos that are actually on my phone. When i go into my iPhone settings to iCloud, i DO have the photos turned "on" but i don't know if that has anything to do with this. And i do pay the 99cents a month for the 50gb extra iCloud storage which is way more than enough. I still have 44gb available in my iCloud storage

Should I buy a new iPhone or save my money for something else?

I'm 14 and have enough money to buy an iPhone 7 Plus. I've always wanted a bigger phone with a better camera. My only concern is that once I have bought the phone I won't have any money left over. My current iPhone 6 still works fine. If I don't buy the new phone I'll probably buy a bunch of clothes and shoes.
