Does anybody else have access to your Apple ID or knows your Apple ID and password?

Have a look at this article:

John Appleseed is also an example for setting up personal data, used by Apple in their user guides.

Why do you think your iPhone was hacked?

No, if you haven't jailbroken your iPhone, it's not possible.

IF you have an iPhone 6S Plus, you need to update your iPhone to iOS 15.7.5

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.


You need about 6 GB device storage and good Service and/or Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.
