What to do if my Apple device is hacked?

Got a message from facebook saying I had something unread when I opened it / it said I’d been hacked

You can’t believe everything you read on the Internet, especially Facebook! ⚠️


There is no possible way a message, making a false claim can scan your device and upload a virus.


That is not possible on an Apple device.


Block the user, report the user, delete the message and ignore that nonsense.


Have a nice day! 👋🏼😉
