I am having trouble with iPhone 11 settings being changed by themselves. It happens randomly and without warning. How can I fix this to make the settings stay the way I want them to stay? For example, Find my iPhone app turns itself off for no reason. I try to leave this on at all times. What can I do to make it not turn itself off?
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Hi Hopeful6592
Thanks for reaching out about your iPhone settings. We can help with this. Which version of software is currently installed? Can you explain a bit more about what's happening? Which apps this happens with?
Do you have Content Restrictions turned on in Settings? Or a profile installed?
Take Care.
Thanks for showing the world how little expertise you have. AppleCare, security experts, tech writers, etc. will tell you that if you have not jailbroken your iPhone, you don’t share your Apple ID, have a strong password for it and a good passcode on your iPhone then no one can remotely change the settings on your iPhone. And no, the operating systems for the iPhone and Windows are very different so that is an inapt comparison. You can get SMS text messages from any cell phone that has a cell voice connection, no data or WiFi connection is required. And “secure” depends on a lot of issues not the least of which is the cost of the intrusion. What is on your iPhone that someone would spend millions of dollars to get?
As far as work if you are using a work iPhone, whether it be personal or work issued, they can put profiles on your iPhone that will override some things you try to do, such as turning off location services and find my. And if you are in the US it is NOT against the law to go through employees personal items. And IP addresses are public, getting someone’s IP address is easy and not illegal but it doesn’t harm anyone either.
That could be a hardware problem with the antenna on your iPhone, click on the Get Support link at the top right of this page to start the service process.
software is updated, using 14.6, and the things that are changing are FindMy and the iMessage. At least this is all that I have found so far.
I have the problem of find my phone turning itself back on among other changes. Apple Care will say no one can access our iphone or ipad which isn't true. They can hack just like they do windows computers. From IP address to however they are doing it. I get told the only way they can access icloud is by knowing your user and password. There is no such thing as secure especially wireless. I could get text messages from an android cell phone that had no data nor wifi connection. How males are doing this is beyond me but they are near using devices. Going through workers personal items and getting an IP Address is against the law. Advice trust no one and lock up everything you own especially at work and guard it with your life around others.
