Interesting techniques. I wonder if Snapchat would also flag a user if their iPhone was jail broken or otherwise hooked by NSO groups Pegasus spyware?

If the malware's job is to just pull the Messages database off the device, then no, this wouldn't find it because the exploit would likely make minimal patches to things it cares about and Snapchat would not be aware that the kernel has been compromised. But if the spyware tried to inject code into the Snapchat process–which is the only thing that malware would do that it can really check for–it's possible, but depending on the sophistication of the malware authors it's quite possible to bypass these checks.
