Can people hack your apple id causing issues with phone

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am currently having many issues with my apple I.D, it keep requesting my password and i changed it to avoid problems like this.

 

Late last night it popped up to request my password and then went onto telling me somone was trying to search for my Iphone using 'Find my Iphone'!!  It then deactivated itself and when it came back on it requested log in details but my passwords were working.

 

After many hours later i got into it and now im having more problems with apps, messages and general settings, if anyone does have any answer that could possbly rectify this problem it would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

Michaela

It's possible that someone was searching for their phone and got their id wrong unless you suspect anyone could be trying to get into yours?

I have just tried to reset my password for facebook and the text code isn't being sent to my number, it doesn't seem right.

I have a gut feeling someone is trying to gain access for what I will never know.

Thank you for responding to my message , much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Michaela

Check in settings and look if icloud has backed up recently.
Settings >icloud >backup and look at last backup date
