How to tell if someone is accessing your iphone remotely

Check for Unfamiliar Apps or Changes:

 Look through your apps and settings for any new or unfamiliar apps settings changes or configurations that you didn’t make. Pay close attention to any apps with permissions that you don’t remember granting.

Battery Drain:

 If your battery is draining much faster than usual it might be due to a malicious app running in the background or unauthorized access.

Unusual Popups or Notifications:

 If you’re receiving strange popups notifications or messages that you don’t recognize it could be a sign of remote access attempts.

Device Behavior:

 If your device behaves strangely like freezing lagging or restarting unexpectedly it might indicate unauthorized activity.

Increased Data Uploads:

 Malicious activity often involves data being sent from your device. Use your device builtin data usage monitor to check for unusual spikes in data uploads.

Check iCloud and Apple ID:

Check your iCloud account and Apple ID for any unauthorized devices linked to your account. You can review connected devices and remove any that you don’t recognize.

Review Location History:

If you’ve enabled location services review your location history to ensure that there aren’t any unfamiliar locations or patterns.

Change Passwords:

 Change your Apple ID password and any other passwords associated with your accounts on the device. Use strong unique passwords.

Enable TwoFactor Authentication (2FA):

Turn on twofactor authentication for your Apple ID and other important accounts. This adds an extra layer of security.

Update Software:

Keep your iOS software and apps up to date. Updates often include security patches that can prevent unauthorized access.

If you find any of these signs it important to take action quickly. Start by removing unfamiliar apps changing passwords and enabling twofactor authentication. If the suspicious activity persists consider reaching out to Apple Support for assistance.

Remember false positives can occur and sometimes innocent issues might mimic signs of remote access. If you’re unsure it always a good idea to seek expert advice from professionals or trusted sources.
