It's very unlikely there’s anything nefarious installed, but check for unfamiliar apps. If you shared any passwords or accounts, change them all. Start with your Apple ID. Then check your settings for call/message forwarding.


  • Phone > Call Forwarding > should be OFF
  • Messages > Text Message Forwarding > turn off what doesn't belong
  • Face Time > delete any numbers or emails not related to Your accounts.


If you are concerned that an unauthorized person might have access to your Apple ID:

Follow these steps to change the email address or phone number that you use as your Apple ID.

I’m going through divorce. And my wife keeps magically knowing what I’m texting and where I am. She’s also claimed she is having me followed. She may be just a lucky guesser. I’m just making sure that she hasn’t put something on my phone that is tracking me illegally.

Did she have unrestricted access to your phone for any length of time to do that?
