The ‘Find My Phone’ alert went off on my phone while I was on it

The ‘Find My Phone’ alert went off on my phone while I was on it. Obviously I did not set it off. Am I being hacked?

Change your Apple ID password: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


Then run Safety Check: Personal Safety User Guide - Apple Support (there’s a PDF of the guide at the bottom.)


If you don’t have two-factor authentication enabled, set that up: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
