Have you received an unexpected notification on your Apple device saying that your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iMessage and FaceTime on a new Mac, iPhone or iPad.

The message doesn’t necessarily mean anything malicious has happened to your Apple account. In fact, in the vast majority cases, there’s a simple explanation for it.

Whenever you set up a new Apple device, you will be asked to sign into it using your ‌Apple ID‌. Your ‌Apple ID‌ is the account you use to sign in to all Apple services like iCloud, the iTunes Store, and the App Store.

This ensures that your ‌iCloud‌ user data, app downloads, and media purchases can sync between them.

If you recently signed into [device name] you can ignore this notification.”. Even if you haven’t done anything recently to warrant the pop-up message and you don’t recognize the default name of the device (“‌iPhone‌,” for example), it doesn’t necessarily mean anything untoward has occurred.

On other occasions, the message will pop up if you turn on a device that hasn’t been connected to the internet for a while, especially if you logged in to iMessage or ‌FaceTime‌ during the period that it was disconnected. The message can also occur if the device has been relying on a poor Wi-Fi connection.

In these cases, the message is simply a delayed notification and not a sign of a compromised ‌Apple ID‌. However, if you’re suspicious because the name of the device that signed into your ‌Apple ID‌ is not a default name and you don’t recognize it, you can investigate the cause by checking your ‌Apple ID‌ device list with Apple.

You can also view this list on a Mac by clicking the Apple menu () in the menu bar, selecting System Preferences.., and clicking Apple ID.

You should remove the device from your account using the red option at the bottom of the screen for that device. After you’ve done that, follow the steps below to secure your account.

If you don’t have 2FA enabled, click these corresponding links to take you to the sections explaining how to reset your Apple ID password if you’re using SMS-based two-factor verification, or if you have email, password and security questions set up for your account.

If your device is missing, you can use Find My to find your device and take additional actions that can help you recover it and keep your data safe. If you aren’t using your device anymore, or if you don’t recognize a listed device, you should remove it from the list.

If you set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, removing a device will ensure that it can no longer display verification codes. It also won’t have access to iCloud and other Apple services, including Find My, until you sign in again with two-factor authentication.

You can also permanently remove a device from your account page.

If you’re still signed in with your Apple ID on the device, it might reappear on your account page the next time your device connects to the Internet. To permanently remove the device from your account page, sign out of iCloud, iTunes & App Stores, iMessage, FaceTime, and Game Center on that device, or erase that device.

Apple ID I received a message that my Apple ID is being used for iMessage and Facetime on a new phone. I looked up the devices that are using my Apple ID and they are all mine.

Do I need to do anything else for security purposes.

Someone hacked my Apple ID Someone hacked my Apple ID and their trying to use it on my phone. I did a factory reset on my phone and added a new SIM card.

I finally got 14.7 on phone. I signed in as a new user so I could get away from the iCloud hacker.

So I sign in under my (new) ID so the-phone is operating under my ID right now, but all the apps like iTunes and App Store are trying to force me to use old ID and place password. How did a factory reset phone and new SIM card know who I was and my ID.

It’s relentless. It’s getting pretty close to identity thief, and that’s serious.

So the phone shouldn’t try to force me to change ID to the hackers preferences. They need their own phone and ID.

Or they are constantly using everyone else’s on a frequent base. I guess enough Boo-Hoo, I’m just trying to figure out how to stay head above water ahead of he/she/they/them scum bags.

How can I know if my iPhone has been compromised. How can i know if someone close friend had already taken my phone and he knew my applle id password and done this before , he had linked all mu data.

How do I find out if an unauthorized device has logged into my Apple ID. When I opened my computer a few minutes ago, a message came that someone a new iPad had been logged into my Apple ID.

How do I find out if someone else is using my Apple ID. A couple years ago, during the Covid shutdown of many services I took my computer into the nearest Apple for service.

Since then every so often, there is confusion with Apple ID, some Apple Apps (especially Books, and some websites saying this computer is not recognized. So I’m wondering if that might have something to do with the “new iPad logging in” message.

Can I device that is not mine appear on my list of devices. Will it show me anyone that is maybe trying to login with my Apple ID.

Two-factor authentication is designed to make sure that you’re the only person who can access your account. Learn how it works and how to turn on two-factor authentication.

When you sign in with your Apple ID for the first time on a new device or on the web, you need both your password and the six-digit verification code that’s automatically displayed on your trusted devices. Because just knowing your password isn’t enough to access your account, two-factor authentication dramatically improves the security of your Apple ID and the data that you store with Apple.

Certain Apple services and features, such as Apple Pay and Sign in with Apple, require two-factor authentication. We recommend that you use two-factor authentication and protect your device with a passcode (or login password on Mac) and Face ID or Touch ID, if your device supports it.

Learn where two-factor authentication is available. If you’re not using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, you can turn it on right on your device or on the web:

Tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication. Then tap Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

Click Password & Security. Next to Two-Factor Authentication, click Turn On and follow the onscreen instructions.

Answer your security questions, then tap Continue. Tap Continue when you see a prompt to upgrade account security.

If you’re already using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, you can’t turn it off. If you updated to two-factor authentication inadvertently, you can turn it off within two weeks of enrollment.

When you sign in with your Apple ID user name and password for the first time on a new device or the web, you’ll receive a notification on your trusted devices that someone is trying to sign in with your Apple ID. The notification might include a map of the approximate location of the sign-in attempt.

If you know that you’re the person trying to sign in but don’t recognize the location, you can still tap Allow and view the verification code. If you’re not the one trying to sign in, tap Don’t Allow to block the sign-in attempt.

You might also be asked to enter the passcode of one of your devices to access any end-to-end encrypted content stored in iCloud. After you sign in, you won’t be asked for a verification code on that device again unless you sign out completely, erase the device, or need to change your password for security reasons.

If you’re trying to sign in and don’t have a trusted device with you that can display verification codes, you can tap Didn’t Get a Code on the sign-in screen and choose to send a code to one of your trusted phone numbers. This text message might include an additional domain validation line that includes the @ symbol, the website name, and your code (for example, @icloud.com #123456 %apple.com).

Learn how to get a verification code. With two-factor authentication, a trusted device or trusted phone number helps verify your identity when you sign in to a new device or browser.

If you have a phone number that isn’t associated with your trusted device, consider verifying it as an additional trusted phone number. If your iPhone is your only trusted device and it’s missing or damaged, you won’t be able to receive verification codes required to access your account.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > your name > Password & Security. Next to Trusted Phone Number, tap Edit.

Click Password & Security, then add or remove a trusted phone number. Go to the Account Security section of appleid.apple.com.

It’s a device that we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser. Learn how to see and manage your trusted devices.
