My ex told me he can see all my text messages and is using a service online to do so. He can see my deleted texts and all my activity. I don't know what app or website he's using. How do I make it stop?
iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.2
You don’t as he’s lying. There is no way for him to see your iMessages unless he knows your AppleID and password you use with iMessage. Nor can he see your carrier SMS texts unless you and he share a telephone number or account.
There is no website that can magically gain access to your messages. As long as you have not let him have hands on access to it (so he’s had no opportunity to jailbreak it and install anything malicious) he’s not sending your messages to any website either.

Text messages fall into two categories:
If he has your AppleID password he doesn’t need any website. All he needs is an iOS or OS X device and he can sign into your account as you and receive your messages at the same time you do.
With that password he can also read your icloud email, see all your contacts, notes you store on icloud, your calendar - any Apple Service or feature linked to that AppleID.
Along with changing your password, you should set up extra security as well - Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
Thank you.
I think he figures out my iCloud password.
I know there are websites such as Teensafe that allow you to see text messages and cellphone activity as long as you have that password.
I changed it but he can still see old/deleted texts. I don't know how to make it stop.
Teensafe requires jailbreaking your phone. If your phone is jailbroken it could have spyware on it. If he has had possession of it he could have jailbroken it. If you suspect that is a possibility you need to restore iOS on the phone using DFU mode and set it up as a new phone. If this is a possibility and you need help with DFU mode post back.
If he really is reading your texts that is considered stalking, which is a felony in most of the US. You should contact the police, either directly, or through your attorney. Do not threaten him; just do it.
Someone is monitoring my text messages. How do I make it stop?
