Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware if it is updated to the latest iOS/iPadOS unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed on your device or/and have Jail Broken. 


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful are you in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password etc with your friends and family members.


Be careful when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.


Thumb Rules:

  1. Enable  Guided Access before handing over an iPhone to kids
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jail Break
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device and payment methods
  5. Beware of Phishing

You still haven't provided any information that would allow anyone here to help you. It's still improbable that your devices were hacked; it's more likely that your username and password were easily guessed. So, change the password and enable two-factor authentication. That's the best we can offer here for help.


If you think your Apple ID has been compromised follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204145

I have been doing this for 11 months and I mean everyday…they don’t take a day off…it consumes you…I had the same email and phone number for 14 years and now I don’t have either and at least 8 to 10 emails and phone numbers…they hacked 4 security cameras…2 routers…smart TV…8 cell phones that were Samsung’s and 1 iPhone that I have now that they’ve already hacked…he goes in as a Developer on everything I’m in contact with which gives him more Arsenal to use…he is also using a Linux operating system which I can’t compete with…I tried doing the latest iOS update and he blocked me…I have done everything I’m supppose to do and I would never share my iCloud information with anybody…especially after what I’ve dealt with…sadly I trust no one…

Do you think I haven’t thought about a strong password and 2 step verification?? I literally have been dealing with it EVERYDAY for 11 months…and if you tech people would quit getting so defensive about your “brand” being able to get hacked or not and actually help those who have been hacked it would change things…highly unlikely is way different then 100% impossible…do you think we like being bullied by people who are so bad *** behind a computer and hack in to people’s private lives but wouldn’t stand toe to toe if they had to…I’m sorry and this isn’t meant to sound hateful or mean it just gets old…especially when you don’t have the knowledge you guys do…but you know what I am learning…and I may not be as fast as my hackers but I will get them…take care…
