iPhone 8 been hacked

Hi, my phone has started: sending messages, making phone calls, sending photos and making group chats on instagram.

It is also sending random messages on snapchat, as well as opening random apps.

I have signed out and changed the password to my apple ID, as well as changing snapchat and instagram passwords. When I change my Apple ID password, it says that someone from an elsewhere location is accessing it, so I clicked don't allow (however I am unsure if it has actually stopped them as at least twice the same message appeared). I also have a MacBook which I have also disconnected my Apple ID from.

Please can anyone help me as to what to do next.

Thank you

iPhone 8

Greetings hydwtwt,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! It seems someone is attempting to use your Apple ID.


Changing your Apple ID password and using two-factor authentication is a good move. You may also want to consider changing your Apple ID to a different email address, and change the passwords associated with your email accounts. Check out the information in the articles below:



Kind regards.
