hi. i received an iphone 5s from my friend as a gift.. she gave it to my c/l spouse to give to me. he is a developer/hacker who has taken over all my emails, text now numbers ect , my icloud contct , pictures ...from my previous phones. My last iphone was stolen from me only days after we started to live together!I have not beenable to use this phone which i recently found I have been sick for quit awhile and only have use of his phone occasionally and I am taped. the story goes on but its nthing that I am proud of :( The bottom line is I want to be able to use my phone and without it being hacked He changed the password and there are analytics daily as the developer ! I don't want him to still have access to my icloud as well I would like to keep the evidence that he did this in case i need to prove it someday. he can get into everything my gica .the computer and everything I am signed into and does'nt need passwords.. i hope you can help me ..Tina
 
Solution
Changing passwords, resetting phone to default settings and then using a password/PIN he doesn't know, etc will only get you so far. This, as previously suggested, is not a technical issue.

Good luck.

Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot we out here can do for you.

Even if you got a whole new phone and all new accounts...if he has physical access, he can just do it again.

This is a social issue, not a technical issue.

I am not sure what the guidelines on this forum are regarding "social" advice.

I guess the first thing I think of is that this is an amazing display of lack of trust on his part. It opens a load of questions that I wouldn't dare ask here...but will go further to say that, since you continue to live with and be married to him, I assume it isn't a relationship breaking situation to you?
With that said, if you aren't willing to leave over it, then just don't do anything on these accounts that you need to worry about.

On a whole OTHER level, as mentioned, the trust issue is significant and I would suggest therapy, or barring that, a good divorce lawyer, and some new accounts. Be SURE to NEVER sign into these accounts on any network or device he has access to, and probably not your home internet.

Best of luck to you, I think you need it.
