That could only happen if someone had physical access to your iPhone and you have given them your Passcode or they had watched you enter it. You should immediately change your Passcode:

You should also change your Apple ID Password.

With your Apple ID and password, she would be able to change and edit photos or other information stored in iCloud. Many things can be done with your Apple ID and Password including locking you out of your own device. The situation of the OP of the phone unlocking to a screen in middle of an action cannot be done remotely and would only be possible with physical access to the device.


I recommend you run the Safety Check that is on your phone to also very Trusted Phone numbers linked to your Apple ID and view who else is logged into your account.

After this is done, she would need to know your Password and/or Passcode to make any changes to your account.
