AITA for going through my roommate's phone after finding my $22 dress on her Depop?

ok so my roommate Priya (20F) and i have lived together since august, split rent 50/50, and honestly get along fine outside of this. she keeps weird hours bc of her lab job so we don't overlap much, which is prob how this went unnoticed so long. last weekend i couldn't find this teal slip dress i thrifted for $22 back in october, i loved that thing. i go on Depop bc i sell some of my own finds there too, and i see it. same exact stain near the hem i never got out, same tag i forgot to cut off. listed under a username i didn't recognize but the photos were taken in OUR living room. she was at work so i grabbed her phone off the charger, she doesn't lock it around me, and found the Depop app logged in. saw she's sold like 6 things of mine over the past 4 months for a total of maybe $140 and kept all of it. when she got home i showed her the screenshots before she even took her shoes off. she started crying saying she was gonna "pay me back eventually" and now she's not talking to me and telling our mutual friend group i invaded her privacy. i mean yeah i did go through her phone lowkey but she straight up sold my stuff for months💀 idk if snooping cancels out the stealing or what
