Help! Ex Able to see deleted calls My ex and I share custody of our son. She has been able to take my IPhone 13 Pro Max and look up my deleted calls. How is this possible? How can I stop it from happening again, other than safe guarding my phone much better? Thank you in advance.

How can I remove data from my iPhone remotely after giving it away? ive given an old iphone to my cousin who lives in another country, when they charged it up it appears to be still connected to my account, im reluctant to hand over my password as all my data will still be on that phone, inc pictures etc, I’ve looked on my apple account and see the phone still in account, I can remove it remotely I think, but how can my cousin still use the phone, or do I need it to be returned for me to do it.iPhone XR [Re-Titled by Moderator]

My iPhone has the previous owner's number listed as "My Number", how do I remove it?? A friend gave me her old iPhone 11 when she upgraded. I fully wiped the phone, and set it up on my own AppleID to be used as a camera. It has a lot of storage so it works great as a youtube filming device. The phone has no SIM and is not activated on any cellular network. So it all works great and I put out tons of youtube videos with excellent video quality. THE PROBLEM is.... every once in a while I do something that doesn't work, like try to facetime from this 11, to my own primary iPhone. If I could see what the other one's camera sees, it would help me line up my shot without needing a cameraman. Problem is I can't facetime with this old phone. And when I poke around settings, I believe the reason why is that the old phone still lists my friend's phone number as "My Number". Everywhere I've seen it, it is a read only block of text. Her number is not attached to my AppleID, mine is. I can't make facetime calls as her on my regular phone or accept them - or texts. But her old phone is confused and still thinks that it has her number. How can I remove her number from this phone. I just want it to be a simple "iPod Touch" essentially. Wifi only! I'm looking all over and I can't figure it out.

No. If you make a FaceTime call, and allow sharing, then a user can control your device. You must explicitly allow sharing and can revoke it at any time.
