How can i change ID without erasing data

Hi all, is there any possibility to change my Apple ID without erasing all the data having on my devise with my current Apple ID? The problem is that my current Apple ID is the same as my email, but with different passwords and I think, that someone hacked my phone and spying on me and all the information I have remotely.

Please advise or dispel my doubts please...

Thanks in advance.

iPhone X, iOS 13

Why do you think someone hacked your phone? Have you changed your Apple ID password? You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.

Hello Eric, thank you for your reply. I don’t know that is coincidence or not, but when I replied in messenger (Wechat) to one of my friend about the things of my second friend done towards the first friend, second friend apologized... so I thought, he could see my correspondence. And I read so many articles about spy programs could be used without its installations to the devise, so got confused. If you can dispel my doubts again, that would be fantastic help. And yes, I changed password, and added two step verification as well. But, who knows..... :)
