iPhone 11 Pro Max icons outlined

The app icons got outlined for a second or two and then went all normal. An **** before that I have received text and calls with my Apple ID verification code - I have not request anything like that. I have changed my password right away, but the glitch with icons looks very suspicious to me especially after text and calls I got.

What was that? Do I need to change my password again and strengthen my security on the phone?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

The security does not need strengthening (if you were considering security apps which are a liability)


Getting verification codes means someone (could even be you) has logged into your account using the correct password. So do you have a family member using the same Apple ID on their phone?

If this is unexpected Make sure you have another method of receiving auth codes like another mobile, your partner’s or a trusted friend.

 you need to log into icloud.com and make sure any other devices than yours are removed from your account.
