FaceTime and iMessages being hacked and compromised

Can someone help me with this I experienced the same exact problem… I’ve also had a person in my FaceTime call making noises and randomly screen sharing. And screenshotting live facetime photos that end up in my call. I’ve tried resetting the phone and nothing works. This person will send text in our conversations that are not from me but only show up in the person I’m talking toos screen they’ve also done it to them and sent me things. They block us from being able to call each other from hours at a time. And if we try to call each other on a different device the call doesn’t even go through. They have also blocked our messages from being sent to one of another and even intercepted suggestive photos my girlfriend sent to me that I never received I’m litterally sitting on a FaceTime call right now completely muted from her as I type this all caused from this weird hacker. They call me all the time from private number or random numbers and I’m litterally losing my **** over this because my privacy has been completely compromised please help or someone explain to me how this is possible. Apple or the phone companies won’t do **** and think that I’m crazy

iPhone SE, iOS 17

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.



Keep the iPhone updated to the latest iOS always and never Jailbreak. That's it.


iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be hacked or infected with Virus / Malware / Spyware unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken


It (Hacking) also depends on how careful you are in sharing sensitive and valuable information pertaining to your iPhone such as Passcode, Password, etc with your friends and family members.


Be judicious when sharing the device's sensitive and valuable information with friends and family members.



If you don't reckon what is said above is true then you have two options...

  1. Report the hacking incident that you are facing to the local law enforcement authorities and follow it up
  2. Believe it, it can't be hacked. There are people who still believe that the earth is flat and also some believe no one has ever landed on the moon. What can anyone do about that? This is a free world you can believe in anything, the choice is yours.
