Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities Jessayn2018,

I understand that you have a question about making sure that the information on your iPhone is secure. Account security is very important, and I'd be glad to help by providing you with some information.

You can start by going through these steps in this article about what to do if you think your Apple ID being compromised. It will also guide you through changing the password for your Apple ID.
