I have an iPhone 10xr, I think I may of been hacked, but I am not sure, my friends all started getting texts from me with a link to Facebook, have I been hacked?

Your iPhone will not get hacked unless you JailBroke it. What can happen is that your Apple ID and Password can get compromised however that happens when the user (you) either provides that information to another person or signs in with the credentials on a fake website that captures it.
You stated that your friends got texts from you which you did not send. Do those sent texts appear on your iPhone? If NOT then something else has been compromised (perhaps an email account) and someone is using that to create mass texts based on your compromised contact list. If this is the case then there is nothing you can do because the contact list is out there for the perpetrator to use. To safeguard against this, change all your passwords including your Apple ID's password and all email accounts passwords in the least.

yes for one of the people it showed in my text message but not for two others, I have changed my passwords so I hope I am good. thanks for you response.
