To ask for help for an explanation with this??

I was DEFINITELY asleep at 6.23 this morning, got woken by my alarm at 7. DH asked me why I’d texted him and I said I haven’t? But this is on my messages- how?? I honestly didn’t send it and it’s nothing like the way I message. Has my phone been hacked? Is that even a thing?

I’ll reset my apple password; if I text back yes, DH gets it. I’ll also call Vodafone.

why shouldn’t I sleep with it next to my head?? Honestly though, I didn’t send that- it doesn’t read like me at all, i’m a really light sleeper and I’ve never sleep talked/walked/done anything in my sleep.

and no to the parties, we live in a very quiet cul de sac

In that case either you sent it, someone else's account has somehow been allocated to your number (rare but happens) or someone is logged into your Apple account somewhere else.

Reset your Apple password and see if they then stop

What happens if he replies? Do the texts come through to you?

We recently had issues with DDs phone whereby my texts to her were going to a completely random person (I’m iPhone she’s android) and I was getting replies telling me to stop texting!

Got in touch with Sky (her provider) who had to cancel the sim and reissue a new one. They couldn’t explain what had happened, it was so weird!

The messages don't read like a person wrote them, more like some kind of poor AI

There weren't big street parties anywhere yesterday were rhere?

Onepotatotwopotatothreepotatofour · 07/05/2023 07:53

I’m not sure how this has happened but as a complete side point you really shouldn’t sleep with your phone under your pillow, or right next to your head at all!

Necrotic · 07/05/2023 07:49

Could you have sleep text? It’s a thing apparently - a bit like sleep walking.

I once wrote a Facebook status saying I was having an affair with Ricky Gervais - had no memory of doing it - was mortified the next morning (to be fair I was drinking a lot back then 😂)

Check what devices are linked to your Apple ID.

@GayPareeee all the other messages when you scroll up are ones I’ve sent, nothing else like this

My phone is under my pillow at night, I highly doubt I’d unlock it and send texts in my sleep. None of it relates to anything to do with us (except the coronation obviously)

If it's iMessage then itt could be sent from anywhere you've logged into you're super account, or could haver been hacked. I would change your Apple password if you can (and think about any browsers you may have been logged into).

If you scroll up are there messages that you definitely did send there in the danger thread too?

isthismylifenow · 07/05/2023 07:32

Do these messages relate to you in any way? Wedding / gifts etc?
But yes, it's weird.

Ladykryptonite · 07/05/2023 07:32

Your phone is actually in your bed at night? Much more likely you've done something. Try not having it in the bedroom at night

It’s blue so it’s iMessage. Does that make a difference?

@FawnFrenchieMum good thought, we have a couple of old iPads lying around but I don’t think iCloud is set up on them

Gobrookeyourself · 07/05/2023 07:25

It’s not WhatsApp, it’s an actual message. How do I know if it’s iMessage?

It will be iMessage if it’s blue, text messages are green on iPhones.

CrapBucket · 07/05/2023 07:27

Try Googling the sentences and see if anything comes up- if it’s hacking it’s bound to have happened to someone else who may have written about it

FawnFrenchieMum · 07/05/2023 07:26

Assuming it’s an iPhone, have you got your iCloud on any other device? My DDs phone and our iPad use my iCloud and occasionally all the settings reset and her iMessages show up as me sending them.

Is that WhatsApp, text (iMessage, as in iPhone) or Android? WhatsApp and iMessage can both be sent from web browsers making hacking more likely

I thought the word ‘store’ was weird too @AlisonDonut because we never use it, it’s always shop!

Detached house and no to the sleepwalking! I just can’t figure it out. I’m worried someone has access to my phone remotely, but this seems a very random thing to do if they do. Also, my phone is tucked under my pillow at night so there’s no way anyone could get it, I’m a really light sleeper.

It looks like one of those messages written using only the middle predictive text button. Maybe you did this in your sleep?

AlisonDonut · 07/05/2023 07:22

Do you use the word 'store'?

This looks like a definite hack of some description.

Lindy2 · 07/05/2023 07:20

Do you ever sleep walk? Could you have been messaging while asleep?

It's a bit odd.

Anyonebut · 07/05/2023 07:14

Do you have loud talking neighbors called Sarah and Alexia and are they planning a party?
