How to check if iPhone 6 is jailbroken and reveal malicious apps?

My friend's iPhone 6 seems to have been compromised and I would like to know how I can be sure. I connected her phone to iTunes and checked for installed apps, but they were all harmless. Previously the same guy "hacked" my mom's iPhone 5 and I found TeamViewer and other apps that can be used for spying on her iPhone 5; however, I couldn't find Cydia so I need another sure way to determine if an iPhone 6 is jailbroken. I already updated her iOS, but still need to find out.
The guy seemed to have read her Messenger and BBM conversations. I scanned her PC (basic scan with MalwareBytes), but there was nothing, so he's probably been monitoring her phone's screen just like he did with my mom's a long time ago. I don't think he has her password because I never saw her log in at suspicious times (times where she usually doesn't log in). I also checked her facebook log-in history and nothing seemed suspicious, but I presume you can delete activities from your log-in log.
Summary of my question:
1- What is a sure way to determine if an iPhone 6 is jailbroken?
2- Is there a chance that the jailbreak is hanging around even after updating the iOS?
3- How can I reveal possibly hidden apps on iPhone 6 (jailbroken or not)? Particularly apps like TeamViewer on a jailbroken iPhone 6?
4- Is there another external way of intercepting Messenger and BBM messages? For example, by monitoring her net traffic? I'm basically asking if BBM and Messenger packets are encrypted.
Thanks in advance

If you can't find Cydia, the phone is probably not jailbroken. Updating iOS, depending on whether or not it's a major update, might not remove the jailbreak. However, as noted above, the best way to be sure that anything that can be removed is removed is to restore the device as new. If there's a question, I suggest your friend do that immediately.
If your friend's Apple ID has been compromised, someone who has it could possibly be seeing their iMessages as well as pictures, contacts, calendars. I suspect it's pretty close to impossible to have access to her BBM.
In my opinion, if your friend is concerned that her information has been compromised, they should restore the phone as new, make sure that any apps they add back to the phone come from the App Store an only the App Store. They should change their Apple ID password, their email password and the passwords for any other accounts that have been used on the phone. They should consider using a VPN when accessing any open hotspots.

How can i disable iphone 4s apple email, and substitute gmail app, which allows for replies, compose, send

iphone4s built-in email is frustrating because it does not allow for replies to incoming mail; deletions and archiving, composing new mail, et al., as gmail does.. is it possible to disable or eliminate iphone email app and sub for gmail app, which i use regulary, just as i do on my laptop?
if not, what alternative solutions exist?
thanks very much.,

In the native iOS app, if you set the default behavior to send a deleted message to Trash, you can still Archive it by moving it to "All Mail" in the same way you can move a message to any other folder.
As for the GMail app, I don't see a need for it but I suppose it depends on what you want. You can have multiple GMail accounts set up on your device with the iOS Mail app, but if you want a quick way to switch between accounts you can use the GMail app for a particular account and iOS Mail for another. Beyond that I don't see any advantage to the GMail app, other than maybe a priority Inbox. The iOS Mail app can do push notifications for GMail if you set it up as an Exchange account (see below), so they're equivalent in that regard.
Since you're a GMail user, you might want to delete your GMail account in iOS settings and re-create it as an Exchange account. That way you get push notifications, and your GMail contacts automatically remain synced between GMail and your device (over the air, no need to re-sync to iTunes). To do this, read the article below:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
One caveat though: When you set GMail up as an Exchange account, the default behavior of deleting a message is Archive (even though the button will say Delete). To change this default, the only way is to use your iPhone's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync after you set up your Exchange account on your iPhone. There you can change the behavior to actually delete a message when you tap Delete. Other than that little task (a one-time thing) you'll be set.

How to check that iPhone 4 is factory unlock or not

how to check an iPhone is factory unlock or not

There is no way to check. This question gets asked all the time, and the simple fact is if you purchased your phone from an official source that sells officially unlocked iPhones, your phone is officially unlocked. If you didn't purchase from an official source, there is a good chance it was hacked.

How to check if Cisco WSA is already blocking the malicious sites?

How to check if Cisco WSA is already blocking the malicious sites?

Depends on what you mean, but in general what you did will not work.
The usual intent of RMI is to have several processs running and all of them use one process as the repository.
A static value is only visible in one VM instance thus it will not be visible in another process.
So in that situation you could check if the the server socket that the RMI using is open. But just catching the exception, presuming that you catch the correct one, is also sufficient.

How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another. You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

Today all my Bookmarks disapeared from Safari, when i checked my iphone they were there and then went away the same happened on my ipad. Any ideas on how to restore?

Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.

Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution.

How to check if iphone is locked or unlocked?

i have iphone 5s i do not know how to check if its locked or factory unlocked

Like what ordinary user has spare sim cards lying around??
My provider SAYS they've unlocked my old phone, so I can sell it as unlocked.
But how can I tell if it's been completed?
I do not have, nor would I know how to get, a card from any other carrier. And if I did, there would not be any signal from that carrier with which to check, because where I live the only signal within several miles is the one generated by my own microcell.
So now what?
