My girlfriend at the time made a funny message that played every time I plugged it in for charge. We are not together anymore and I called and asked how to shut it off and she said she didn’t know. Then about an hour later the message stopped on it’s own so I wanted to know if she might have hacked my phone somehow and how I might check?
iPhone SE, iOS 14
Hi Court1980_,
Thanks for reaching out in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're concerned that your iPhone may be compromised. You mentioned that your former significant other had created an action where a message would appear when you connect your phone to power.
This sounds like they may have previously created a personal automation in the Shortcut app of your iPhone. To check to see if this is true and how to disable it, follow the steps in Enable or disable a personal automation.
To learn more about the Shortcut app and what you can do with it, check out Shortcuts User Guide.
However, if you believe that your device or Apple ID have been compromised, you'll want to review these support articles below:
