So my friend recently got divorced, now the thing is, the iPhone 13 she has was bought by her ex, so we believe he is currently using the find my iPhone feature to track her location. Now i never owned an iPhone, so i don’t know shit about them.
But i think the best option would be to just buy a new iPhone and change her passwords on everything.
But now i am wondering if she should also be creating a new apple id or is changing the password enough, considering he currently has access to it?
Also, should she change the sim card? I have no idea how find my iPhone works, like if she puts the old sim in to a new iPhone, will he now be able to track her new iPhone? Obviously, we want to avoid the hassle of changing her phone number if possible, but we also want to eliminate any chance of him tracking her through her phone.
Also, how do we check if there are any apple Air tags present in her car or some shit like that?
Any help or tips are appreciated
Factory reset it and create a new Apple ID, if the SIM is paid for by the ex, grt her her own one, using a PUK code to transfer the number over.
Create everything brand new, including recovery number and email address. Setup 2FA as well. Start using encrypted physical keys like the Titan, if she’d like or feel better using that.
Change sim card as well. Change all social media, delete all old. Remove all FWD features on any email accounts.
If it’s her apple ID, changing the password and enabling 2FA is enough. If it’s his apple ID, you need to buy a new phone.
Factory reset it
