unless you've jailbroken your iPhone, highly unlikely that it is hacked.

What are you seeing that leads you to believe you've been hacked?


spam in your calendar?

  • For iOS 13 and earlier: go to Settings/Passwords & Accounts; look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the spam calendar and tap delete.
  • For iOS 14: go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts; look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the spam calendar and tap delete.
  • Remove spam from Calendar on your iPhone - Apple Support


pop up message telling you that there is a virus?

it's a scam
