Iphone hacked, how?

I am expecting the same responses that typically come with this post. I know something is going on though. I cannot just ignore my experiences as crazy as it may be.

If you feel you're going to get answers that don't support your theory, you're likely correct.

Forget a compromise of your device. Unless your device has been jailbroken, no known remote/covert access is possible.

Your account is more likely where your messages can be monitored or accessed if your account is compromised.

You have said you have 2FA enabled, have restored the device and changed passwords, so that makes a compromised account must less likely.

So now there is no logical explanation for your scenario that we can offer.

Are you 100% confident the message recipient is not part of the issue? What number was being dialled? was it the last call you made before locking the device? Does that call show in your call log? Have you had the hardware checked? A bad digitizer may explain the phantom dialling.

Despite how movies and TV portray it, phones are not easily compromised. If your phone has never been out of your full physical control for any length of time, it can't be "cracked" and/or jailbroken.

You said previously you even know who is doing this, so go To the local police, your state police, or the FBI. If what you say is being done is true (and again, you’re the one saying you know it is) then it is a criminal act. So why not contact the authorities, who have or have access to some of the most knowledgable forensic IT people and tools on the planet.

Wipe. Reinstall. Change all passwords. Upgrade all to current.

What previous post wrote. You should really listen to senior members of this forum, they been around long time, and know a lot. But I say it again, iPhones do not get hacked, unless it is JAILBROKEN! Unless you gave iPhone to somebody, and never know they JAILBROKE iPhone, no can hack!

And if there should be reasons for not contacting the authorities and that can be the case, then there’s little reason not to wipe and reload your devices, and to upgrade your security. If upgrading your security is an issue, you’re in deeper trouble than anybody here can assist with.

If they have your Facebook password they can do all of that via the Facebook site.

Who are these people and what are you doing in life that they would spend this kind of effort and money to hack you? Are you with the CIA? NSA?

If it is not my phone what is it then? How could someone have access and ability to do that

I recently worked with somebody that was reconfiguring their own computer, and then and perfectly innocently forgetting that they had reconfigured it. Another involving a third person nearby that was gaslighting. Those cases took a while to sort out. Is either of these a possibility here?

iPhone malware is quite rare, and you’ve already been provided with remediation steps, upgraded your passwords, and you’ve gone through those, a sequence which cleans out most of what malware is known; persistence past a reload is rare. And if you’re a target, forum postings and forum discussions are probably not going to get you nearly the level of support needed.

Please forward any helpful that replies. Had 19 Android, 3 flip phone & now an iPhone 7. He’s using my identity to purchase stuff fraudulent. I’m in a constant nightmare trying to rid myself of this psycho serial cyber stalker!

This mess likely isn’t going to get solved with your current approach, whatever is going on here. Not if you’ve already gone through most of two dozen different devices.

Chat with the local or regional police. Whether or not contact with the police is an option and for any of the various reasons that might be the case, you will also want to make contact with the local or regional victims’ rights folks that specialize in assisting folks in your current situation.

You will want to change your financial information and your passwords, particularly change the passwords or security question answers associated with the password reset paths, enable two-factor, and related steps discussed previously including enabling two-factor authentication.

No. That did NOT happen. Someone has compromised your Facebook account. Your problems have absolutely NOTHING to do with your phone.

As long as you keep going down the path of 'someone hacked my phone', you are NOT going to solve this. This has absolutely nothing to do with your phone, whether you believe it or not.
