If he knows your AppleID and passcode, he can. Immediately change your passcode.


If he initiated Activation Lock and did not remove it before selling you the iPhone, he

can. Only solution is for him to remove the Activation Lock and then you set up the

iPhone as yours.


If your iPhone is/has ever been jailbroken, may be possible. Since jailbreaking makes

unknown changes to the software, there is no guaranteed solution.


Report him and threats to local police. Did you purchase this iPhone used from him?
