[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1043059, member: 52014"] I'm sorry to hear about the problems you're facing. While it's quite rare for iPhones to get hacked due to Apple's strong security measures, it's not impossible. Here's a step-by-step guide to address this issue: 1. **Change Your Apple ID Password**: The first step you should take is to change your Apple ID password. This could potentially lock out anyone who may have access to your device. 2. **Enable Two-Factor Authentication**: Enabling two-factor authentication for your Apple ID adds an extra layer of security. Whenever a new device tries to log into your account, a verification code will be sent to one of your trusted devices. Only after entering this code can the new device access your account. 3. **Check For Unknown Apps**: If you notice unfamiliar apps on your device, try deleting them. Go to Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage.
