Why do you think your iPhone was hacked?

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

 

To keep your Apple ID account secure, see the following Apple articles:

See who has access to your device or accounts

Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

  • if you see devices that don't belong to you, delete from your account.

(if you haven't already done this) Two-factor authentication for Apple ID -> Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


Change your Apple ID password -> Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support

  • Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger. 
  • Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.

(Since this was re-titled and no one had replied, and I don't use premade

contents; here I have made a new reply to this thread; well before now.)


Curious if your recent iPhone had been set up ahead by an original owner

and maybe that earlier account had not been removed before re-selling it.


If you try to re-activate it as new, if not prepared correctly; the iPhone may

show later as Activation Locked and not able to go ahead; without original

owner's pass-code. Needed then to be used to unlock the Locked Device.

..And because this thread was re-titled, I'm not sure what's going on there..
