You should remove these apps from your iPhone immediately
Apple has removed over 250 apps from the App Store after it was discovered they were secretly gathering personal information from users.

The apps were mainly developed in China and all used a software called Youmi to display built-in advertising. According to Business Insider, Youmi could potentially have stolen your "iPhone's serial number, the email address associated with your Apple ID, and a list of apps installed on your phone."

Amongst the hacked apps include the popular, Angry Birds 2.
But don't freak out quite yet. BGR reports, "Rovio has confirmed to BGR that a build of Angry Birds 2 local to the Chinese market (mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) was impacted by this issue, but it has since been fixed in an update. China-based users should ensure they have the latest version of the app installed, and users in other markets are not affected."
Therefore, you may want to cross reference your iPhone and iPad apps with this list below, and uninstall any that pose a threat (always better to be safe than sorry).
This scare comes after last month's discovery of iOS malware XcodeGhost, that was found in hundreds of popular Apple apps including instant messaging app, WeChat.
Here is the full list of potentially affected apps, as reported by BGR:
