Wondering ‘Has someone logged into my iPhone?’ is a familiar worry for many iPhone users. For your peace of mind and to protect your personal information, it’s important to be able to monitor for any unauthorized access. While Apple doesn’t provide a specific feature to tell you if someone else has been using your iPhone, there are several indirect methods that you can use to detect incongruities. Here’s how you can do it.

Check the Recent Battery Usage

  1. Navigate to Settings > Battery.
  2. You will find a list of apps sorted by the battery usage in the last 24 hours or up to the last 10 days.
  3. Compare this list to your actual usage. If you notice any application you rarely use appearing in high ranking, it might indicate that someone else is using your device.

Monitor Your Data Usage

  1. Go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data (depending on your location).
  2. Scroll down to see a list of apps and how much cellular data they’ve used.
  3. If you spot any unfamiliar app consuming high data, it could be a sign of unauthorized access.

Look for App or Settings Alterations

Signs of new apps, deleted apps, or changes in your phone settings can indicate that someone has accessed your device. Always keep an eye on your apps and settings.

Keep Track Of Your Email Account

Your email account linked to Apple ID sends alerts whenever a new device logs into your account. If you receive any such ’new sign in’ notifications, it may suggest that someone logged into your iPhone.

Use a Third-Party App

There are several trusted apps available that can detect unauthorized access to your device. For instance, ‘Catchr’ logs all activity and can be used to check if anyone accessed your iPhone while you were not around.

Remember, Apple iPhone has robust security measures in place. Always keep your iPhone software up to date, have a strong passcode, enable two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, and avoid clicking on any suspicious links or giving your phone to untrusted persons. By practicing good security habits, you can maintain your iPhone’s privacy and safety.
