If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.

They would have to have your Apple ID and Password. As long as your iPhone is not jailbroken, there is no way someone could mirror your phone other than setting one up using your Apple ID and Password. Two-Factor authentication is also used to prevent this type of activity.

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


There are 3 things I would do immediately:

  • Change your Apple ID Password
  • Verify that you are using Two-factor authentication with trusted devices
  • Do a Safety Check on your phone by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Safety Check.
