Possible hacker or spyware

I think I’ve been hacked. I’ve taken all security measures ie changed passwords I use two factor authentication I’m enrolled in Verizon Protect and follow all security suggestions I use a vpn but oddly enough a certain person always knows my whereabouts it’s really uncomfortable. I know they know they because they’ve slipped up a few times and made comments about my location. I have everything buttoned up tightly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated at this point. Thanks so much!!!!

Run Safety Check on your device to:

  • Change your password
  • Review data being shared to others, including location.
  • Review who else is signed into your account.

Also consider it has absolutely nothing to do with your phone.

  • Could have planted a Tile tracker or similar item.
  • They have talked to someone you know.
  • They are attempting to intimidate you and don't know your location at all.
