How can I remove a strange number from my FaceTime and iMessage? I think I used a free WiFi at the airport and as a result my phone must have been hacked while a strange number appears under contactable numbers even on the iCloud.
iPhone SE, iOS 13
I had earlier made an attempt to do this before using my iphone but it couldnt help. I just tried using my laptop and the problem remain the same. It is given this error report "Deregister Number to Remove. This number is being used for iMessage and FaceTime. If you still have the iPhone that uses this number, turn off iMessage & FaceTime on it and try again."
The problem is I dont have this number and I dont even know how it got there. The second number in the picture above is my real number and I have to remove the one marked red.
iPhones cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware by merely clicking on a link in Safari, unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious softwares or unauthorised apps directly from internet and installed on your iPhone or/and have Jail Broken.
You need to look at the way you share your sensitive and valuable informations of your device with your friends and family members.
Watch the GIF to remove the number
Thanks for your reply. However it didn’t work because the number attached to the FaceTime is what I need to remove and it won’t delete. Kindly offer more help tips if you can. Thanks
