Concerned my ex has remote access to my iPhone
Hello everyone, I don’t want to believe this is happening for real, but I’ve had some issues with my now ex boyfriend that have left me concerned he has access to my device. He joked about putting hidden cameras in my shower once (this is one of the reasons why he’s an ex), and I noticed that he often knew things he couldn’t have known if he didn’t have the ability to listen when he wasn’t home. I decided to investigate my app privacy report when I noticed that the actual camera app itself was regularly being opened sometimes for 12+ hours at a time specifically when he and I were apart. After digging further, none of my other apps are showing that they’re accessing my camera in the background. I have included two photos showing the same day where it says my camera was open for 13 hours yet my battery usage report shows it was only in use in the background for 1 minute. I’m confused as to how that could be and would love some reassurance or other explanations. Thank you for any help in advance!
Update:
Hello, thank you again to everyone who took real time out of their lives to offer insight or advice! It seems the general consensus is that it’s extremely unlikely my ex has remote access to my iPhone. After reading the responses here and investigating my settings further, I’m inclined to agree. I’ve still taken the suggestions given here and reset things on my phone just to be safe. I’d also like to thank those of you who expressed concern and made other suggestions related to hidden cameras in my home or AirTags being used. Unfortunately, if there is anything going on it’s more likely that he’s using hidden cameras. He lived here temporarily, quoted things I’d thought out loud to myself while I was entirely home alone, and even questioned me about things I was doing alone in my bedroom. So thank you again to everyone who’s taken this seriously. I still don’t really want to believe any of this could be possible, but he’s given me every reason to at least look into things. With all of that in mind, I’ve taken the suggestion here to reset my WiFi password today, and I already feel a bit safer. 🌷
