Hi. I just received a long text in Spanish from a friend who swears she did not send it. My friend knows very little Spanish (from high school decades ago). She is as confused about it as I am. Should either one of us be worried about our phone?! Has anyone ever had this happen. It’s freaking us both out a little bit! Thanks in advance for any info!

She should indeed change her Facebook password. Did this text come in as an SMS (green balloon) or iMessage (blue balloon). I'm guessing it was green and they spoofed her phone number or they used her email address to send an iMessage. You don't need to change anything.
