What do you do if your iPhone is hacked?

What things are you seeing that concern you?

Unless your phone has been jailbroken, or someone has had access to it while it was unlocked for a significant time or you are a high-profile activist, journalist or politician whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire, it is unlikely that your phone was hacked. So, it is likely that any disturbing things you're seeing have a different explanation. Until you tell us what the symptoms are, we can't really tell.

It is possible that your Apple ID has been compromised. See this article for more information:

If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

1. First, you should back up any important pictures or information on your phone. If you don’t do this, all

your information will be lost.

2. Turn off your phone

3. Plug in your iPhone into your computer

4. Open iTunes

5. On the left side of the window, click “Devices”

6. Now on the bottom of the window, click “Restore”, it should take about 15 minutes to reset.

* If you are unable to restore your factory settings or still see unusual activity call Apple Support.

They are wrong. At least in regards to her phone. It’s entirely possible one or more of her email accounts was compromised.

If the reasoning of these two people is they received emails or texts from your mother she didn't send, that has nothing to do with being hacked. Zero. It's just spam spoofing your mother's email address or phone number as the sender.

Or, as KiltedTim noted, they may have gotten into her email account. But either way, it's not her phone.

Call the police.

Your list is missing - Change Apple ID password, lockdown mode, etc...

Why do they think she has been hacked?

It's also possible they are talking about Facebook. More details are needed.
