Unable to update iPhone due to hacked Apple ID security questions

Someone else hacked my Apple ID and hacked my entire phone and messed up all my Apple ID and phone settings. I want to install the new update on my iPhone to cut off his access to my phone and information, but he changed the answers to my Apple ID security questions. Can you help me?

Sorry to hear your Apple ID was compromised. They do not have access to your phone, just the ID.


Posting personal info publicly is not good and could be what led your account to being compromised. You’ll see Apple already hid your personal info.
