Unless you've jailbroken your device, it's virtually impossible for someone to remotely control it. What they can do is guess, or find out what your Apple ID and password is. Then they can login to your account with another device and see everything you do.


2FA should keep them out, as long as they didn't add themselves as a trusted device to send notices to. Go into your account at icloud.com and check the account settings. Do you see any devices listed you don't recognize?
