Hello! I need help asap! I feel like my phone is being hacked. i’m constantly getting told that other people from very strange locations are trying to log into my apple id as well as a slowness happening on my phone. How do I stop this from happening incase I have any virus or hackers trying to get in.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
