Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I just had a notification pop up on my phone asking me to allow someone to use my Apple ID near Los Angeles. I don’t have contact with anybody over there, nor know anyone in that area. I was able to change my password, but am still curious if my ID is being used without my consent. Please help asap! I don’t want to get scammed!
iPhone XR, iOS 12
