My iPhone is being hacked. Calling and texting random numbers. Also, can’t receive any call - it says that my number is not valid

It sounds as if you have a serious hardware problem. Calling and texting random numbers can mean your touch screen is failing but your problem may be bigger than that.


Contact Apple and arrange to have your phone evaluated. They can do some of the diagnostics remotely.
