gagabity··on TikTok privacy policy says they monitor names of other installed apps
No you can use third party Apps which list every Apps permissions. I just checked and TikTok doesnt have the Query All Package permission so I suspect the privacy policy is just outdated or they are getting the info from third parties in some cases, realisticly only Launcher and antivirus type Apps are given this permission nowadays because its their core functionality but some of these probably sell this data.

Doesnt mean you were hacked could be an inside job by someone at either organization or could be a hack on the other company's email. If your email provider has any sort of activity log like gmail does you might want to review those, or if you run your own there should be access logs on the server.
