I turned off all of my location services to every app except find my iphone, emergency/Sos, satellite connection, and share my location
I did this because my old phone got hacked and I didn’t want any apps to use my location
i haven’t even shared my location or left the house and I still see it as purple
just wanted to make sure my phone isn’t hacked or trying to hack it

Your old phone did not get hacked. For all practical purposes iPhones can’t be hacked. If you got an email or text saying your phone had been hacked it was a scam to get you to pay for useless software, or to steal your identity if you responded to it→Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams
If you have ANY location services enabled you will see a location services icon. You can go to Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services and see which apps are using location services. Most likely it will be Find My and Share My Location. How can you share it if your phone doesn’t know your location?

Because you can make money making up ridiculous stories, but to say that you can’t be hacked through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is boring.
why are there so many articles about how the earth is flat? Or people were abducted by aliens?
why are there so many articles on being hacked through bluetooth or worse, through wifi ?!
It feels like im being monitored through my phone!
Why is 'Share My Location' purple when all location services are off on my iPhone?
