Is my spouse using Bluetooth or wifi to access my phone or account?

How can I make sure no one in my home is using Bluetooth or wifi to access my phone or account? I am a new iOS user and have not shared any of my passwords etc with anyone however there seems to be two phones connected to my account. When checking on find my, two devices appear . When I turn off Bluetooth I am told it’s disconnecting devices but I don’t have anything else besides this one phone. No home accessories, headphones etc. A page on safari I never looked up was for pairing Bluetooth devices via freegadget online website. It also has two devices I’ve never connected to myself. I don’t use any of it, so I know that it wasn’t me. I have screenshots of what looks like a screen overlay, two different layers. My phone heats up quickly, and dies very quickly when the person is around me as well. At times A custom Home Screen was also made that I did not make, and the widgets were direct access to my camera. Settings have been changed, and my

icloud settings of “allow access to iCloud on the web” keeps getting turned back on. I could really use some support around this, what’s been done and how to prevent it from happening again. Please and thank you so much

Hello iMaxedphonehome,


Let's see if we can address each of your concerns, starting with connecting to the iPhone via bluetooth.


It is actually not possible to connect to your iPhone via Bluetooth from another device. While it is possible to connect via Bluetooth to things like speakers, it does not go the other direction.


When looking at Settings > Bluetooth, it would be normal to see devices that are in the vicinity, but have not been connected to. These should be under the Other Devices category. This is how devices know they are there and can be found if you should want to connect them. More information can be found here: Set up and use Bluetooth accessories on iPhone - Apple Support


As for the iPhone heating up, take a look here: If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support


The only way someone can access your device is if they have access to the passcode of the iPhone or have access to the Apple ID that is signed in to iPhone.


To change the passcode, follow the steps found here: Use a passcode with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you think the Apple ID has been compromised, take the steps outlined here: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


Have a good day.
