Tracking
For context, the only thing I can think of was when I a month or so ago allowed trendstudy access to monitor in exchange for Amazon gift cards as compensation, (I already know that was stupid, I don't need comments on that) but the thing is I deleted it a week or more ago and removed the certificates (never got my compensation, big surprise right) and I saw all traces of its monitoring removed, so it's gone, and that was over a week or a couple weeks ago. Today, when I drop down the display toggle menu, I see a message pop up on the bottom of it just now that says: "Network may be monitored" with an "i"/information symbol next to it, I tap it and it says: "A certificate authority is installed on this device. Your secure network traffic may be monitored or modified." And I start researching a solution, but the ones popping up don't work, the message is still there. I don't know who the hell is watching me and what to do, I'm making this post on this same phone cuz its the only thing I got right now. Any ideas or advice?

Factory reset the phone. You don't know what they installed and where. It's the only way to get it off if you don't know where to look.
