It is pretty easy to see if someone is using your Apple Account. All you need to do is go to Settings > [name on top], and scroll to the bottom to see the devices using your Apple Account.


You can also use Safety Check to:

  • Change Password
  • Change Passcode
  • Review who is logged into your account
  • Review Trusted Phone number used on your account
  • Review information that you have allowed to be shared to others

Safety Check for an iPhone with iOS 16 or later - Apple Support


If you would like help with any particular issue, you would need to describe what you are seeing or post a screenshot if there is something you don't think is correct.

Repeating the same request from your previous reports is unlikely to resolve whatever is (or is not) happening here.


You’ll get similar and entirely well-meaning and correct replies in response, undoubtedly with the same security suggestions you’ve already considered, and have already implemented as appropriate.


What you are encountering here matters. Specifics matter.


Feelings are absolutely important, but they’re not something that can be addressed.


Not past what you already know to do (and have done) from your previous reports.


Unfortunately, there’s nothing been provided here that anyone can help you with.


And some of the security-related questions that can necessarily be involved here can be personal, or private, or sensitive, too.


Put differently, what problems or issues or concerns or oddities or instabilities are you encountering here?


Why do you think what you do?
