What is what to do when iphone is hacked?

If you suspect your iPhone has been hacked, act quickly to minimize the damage. Here’s what you should do:

1. Change Your Passwords: Immediately change the passwords for your Apple ID, email accounts, social media, and any other sensitive accounts. Use strong, unique passwords for each account. You can get more info on Password%20Security.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for all accounts that offer it, especially your Apple ID. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code from a trusted device. More info on Two-Factor%20Authentication here.

3. Review Your Apple ID Security: Go to your Apple ID account settings and check for any unfamiliar devices logged in. Remove any devices you don't recognize. Also, review your trusted phone numbers and email addresses to ensure they are accurate.

4. Update Your iPhone Software: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Software updates often include security patches that can protect your device from vulnerabilities. Learn more about iPhone%20Updates.

5. Check for Suspicious Apps: Look through your installed apps for anything you don't recognize or don't remember installing. Delete any suspicious apps immediately.

6. Scan for Malware: While rare on iOS, malware is still a possibility. Consider using a reputable mobile security app to scan your device for malware and other threats. Information about Malware%20Scanning is available.

7. Review Email and Messages: Check your email and message histories for any unusual activity, such as sent messages you don't remember sending.

8. Contact Apple Support: If you believe your Apple ID has been compromised, contact Apple Support for assistance.

9. Factory Reset (as a last resort): If you've tried everything else and still suspect your iPhone is compromised, you can perform a factory reset to erase all data and settings. Be sure to back up your important data first (using a trusted computer, not iCloud, if you suspect iCloud has been compromised). You can get more info on Factory%20Reset.

10. Inform Your Contacts: Let your contacts know that your phone may have been hacked so they can be wary of any suspicious messages or calls they receive from your number. You can get more info on Contact%20Communication.
