How has someone HACKED my iPhone 5c? and how do I stop it?

I upgraded to an iPhone 5c Monday with AT&T. The first night I got it I was downloading the usual apps and setting my phone up using my Apple ID and iCloud. I downloaded a new app called Tips, by Trusper. Not saying that is the cause but that is the app that I was in when this started. It started flashing like it got a virus and the next thing I know something took control over my phone. It went into my Facebook and shared my friends. Went into my iTunes to see if I was plugged into a computer, went into my settings looking at thing. The whole time I was freaking out cause I wasn't doing this! I instantly deleted all the apps I downloaded. It's like a remote person was fighting with me for me not to go into my setting and hit the reset phone. That didn't work, even when I powered off and back on it started again. I would try to go into an app or mail and it would back me out of it and go into the calculator or my settings or Facebook. It then went into my iPhone search and typed Pepe... And then went into my maps and was trying to locate something. I instantly thought oh crap what if they are trying to find my location and so I immediately tried to shut the phone off which it tried to get me not to by swiping my swipe back. Finally it powered off and I left it off all night. The next day I called AT&T and spoke with them, they sent me to apple operator. They are completely clueless on how it happened and how to fix it. We tried all the normal things. I changed all my logins all my passwords. Reset the entire phone from scratch. Later that night, I thought all was fixed and while on my phone again, all by itself,it went into my email, looked at 2 of my emails, went into my Facebook messenger, looked at one of my conversations and hit the thumbs up like button and send. So now it's taunting me. It started again about an hour later. Now today while I'm using it, it went into another message and hit a laughing emoticon to a friend. Then tried going into my other apps again. WTH is happening? No matter what I've done, nothing is working. So now the plan is to go exchange the phone and start a new id and life on my phone. Anyone had this happen or have any clue? And no I'm not seeing things or on medication, my husband and kids watched if to. I'm trying to catch it happening and get video of it.

Ok, There is only one way to solve this problem, Delete the app that you download and then restart your phone (make sure you saved your data in iCloud).
And if that don't work maybe can help you more.

Again if you want to help do so here. Drawing posters to email conversations is against the TOS of this forum.
Anyway:
Currently there is no way to remotely hack an iPhone. If it was doing strange things it may have been a glitch or bug in the iPhone.
Have you tried restarting the phone? Hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons until the Apple logo shows up.
If its still acting up a replacement would be in order.

Dear Wendy Ott,
Your Apple ID, [email protected], was just used to download 胡莱三国 for iPad from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
From Pay Pal (for the tax on the item, I only had $30 in credit in my itunes account):

I had someone hack into my Itunesaccount and buy something How do I get it taken off?

I had someone Hack into my computer and purchase an App , I do not know who this is. How can I get it taken away and get my Money back?
In had received a $50.00 gift card from my husband for Valentines day, the next thing I know , I have .83 cent left on my acccount.. Please help!!!!

you cant delete the app from your acct, once something is purchased with your apple id it stays there for life, you can hide it though, by going to itunes store on ur itunes program on comp, you can then go to purchased and click the x on the app there, it will hide it, but in the meantime you need to contact itunes store via the expresslane @
expresslane.apple.com and file a case with the itunes store choose itunes, itunes store, then account redemption and billing, they will refund the money to you.

My friend has a non jailbroken iPhone 4 and has Siri fully working on it (iOS7) he won't tell me how he did it so pleeez people help me

My friend has a non jailbroken iPhone 4 and has Siri fully working on it (iOS7) he won't tell me how he did it so pleeez people help me

That is absolutely impossible. Siri requires an iPhone 4S or later.
if your friend really does have Siri working on an earlier iPhone, it was in fact jailbroken, and you will get no help from this forum at all.

Can someone hack my iphone and send texts from my phone number?

Someone said they were getting texts from my phone number but I didn't send them. Is that possible that someone hacked my iPhone and sent messages under my phone number?

No. If your phone is not jailbroken, they can not do so.
There are plenty of ways to spoof the caller ID string, though. It's illegal, but it can be done. The messages are not being sent from your phone. They are being sent from somewhere else by someone masquerading as you.

Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

Please help! I just sync my notes to icloud of my ipad mini but after that all notes has been covered by iphone's and all notes are missing from iPad,how could i restore it?

It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

The Web of Trust has reported my website as an attack website. Someone hacked into that site and I have since cleaned it up. How can I get a good WOT rating again?

How do I contact Firefox and other browsers to give my website clearance after it has been hacked and determined not safe?
Currently, my website www.balancingchanges.com comes up with a WOT warning. I have not made any changes to my site for nearly 2 years, but when I looked in my folders, someone had added some files in April 2010. I have since deleted those files and changed my FTP password.

Has someone hacked into my iphone 4s?

my screen saver changed itself to a photo of complete stranger with the words" big nick" above it!
I changed it back but it keeps on changing when the screen locks. My iphone is new and not jailbroken and im not particulary techie so done nothing to it

Please let me explain something.
The only way someone can "hack" your phone is if they manually install some type of spyware, virus, keylogger etc onto it. No app can hack your phone.
Secondly, if you're suspicious that your phone has been hacked you'll need to reset it. There's no other way to manually get a virus off of an iPhone

Is your device jailbroken? If so, it's possible.
If the device is not jailbroken, it is not possible for the device to be hacked.

How can I tell if someone hacked my iPhone

How can I tell if someone hacked my iPhone

What makes you think you've been hacked? What problems are you experiencing?

I'm getting emails from my own email address to my email address. Has someone hacked my emails?

I'm receiving emails as if I had sent them. They say either [email protected] or [email protected]
How do I stop this? I am obviously not sending emails to myself.

I doubt that anything has been hacked. In all probability, a spammer has obtained your email address and is using it as a bogus From: address and somewhat stupidly may also be using it as a To: address.
Viewing the source of the received message (using ctrl+u) can reveal something about the message's true provenance. Whilst it is not going to tell you who sent it (and the actual sender may be some innocent user whose machine <em>has</em> been compromised), it can be reassuring to find that the message came from some entirely foreign location, and not any account or machine that you are responsible for.
