Iphone hacked displaying messages

User uploaded fileHello! I think my iPhone 6 have been hacked or I can't tell if it's a bad joke. A few minutes ago it started displaying messages (as shown in the attached picture - "You started to freak out?", followed by "this is just the beginning"), threatening me (the person who hacked into the phone knows personal stuff about me). The messages can be closed and the phone goes back to the home screen. How could someone remotely enter my phone? What should I do?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

Those are Flash messages which are being sent to your phone. They appear on your screen rather than your inbox.


Your phone has not been hacked. This is a special way to send high-priority messages which most people don't know about.. Unfortunately someone, possibly a jokester "friend", is misusing this facility at your expense.


Ignore the messages.
