Re: Account takeover

Wondering whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac etc., and which iOS or MacOS etc. version is installed:


Eg: You can: See who has access to your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You can also use these tips to avoid scams and learn what to do if you think your Apple ID has been compromised.

To update your password for the Apple ID account (eg: that you use for purchases, subscriptions, Messages etc,):

do so only in Settings on your device or at https://appleid.apple.com


You have control over what you share:

Privacy is built in from the beginning, from the moment you open your new device to every time you use an app. Here are a few things to know so you can be even more secure.

Starting with iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, you’re more in control of how apps use your personal data to track you

Share files and folders in iCloud Drive on iCloud.com - Apple Support

says you can: Stop sharing files or folders

You must be the owner of the shared file or folder to stop sharing it.

  1. In iCloud Drive on iCloud.com, select the file or folder.
  2. Click , then do one of the following:
    • Stop sharing with all participants: Click Share Options, then click Stop Sharing.
    • Stop sharing with just one participant: Hold the pointer over the person’s name, then click and choose Remove Access.

If you stop sharing or delete a shared folder, the participants can no longer view or edit the files in the folder.

To stop sharing a file in a shared folder without changing the folder settings, you can move the file to a folder you haven’t shared.
