Part 1: If Someone Logs into My iCloud What Can They See?
For many reasons, you might once have lent your Apple ID to someone, but it's not secure, and if someone logs in to your Apple ID they can see your privacy more or less, and what they can see depends on if they log in to your Apple ID over the web or on an Apple device.
Here are the specifics on if someone has your Apple ID what can they see.
If someone has your iCloud what can they see:
1 Your Mail
If someone has your Apple ID can they see your texts?
Yes, if you use iCloud Mail, your emails will be accessible to anyone who has both your Apple ID and password and can also send an email in your name.
It gets worse:
With your iCloud mail address, they can change your password to any other accounts that are linked to it. Then they can log into your other accounts.
Namely, if someone logs into your Apple ID, they have access to your email accounts and much of your private information.
2 Contacts
By logging into your iCloud account, someone can access your contact list.
To view your contacts, anyone who has both your Apple ID and password will only need to click Contacts after logging into iCloud.
That is to say:
By giving out your Apple ID, you're also giving out the privacy of your friends and family.
3 Photos
If someone has your Apple ID can they see your photos?
Yes, After logging into iCloud and clicking the Photos icon, anyone with your Apple ID and password will be able to access your photos in your iCloud.
Here is an example:
- Anyone who logs into your Apple ID either on the web or on their Apple device can view My Photo, which stores your recent photos for 30 days.
- If you turn on Sync this iPhone, the photos taken by it in the past 30 days will be shared with someone who logs into your Apple ID.
- However, if you turn off Sync this iPhone, your photos physically stored on your device won't be viewed if someone logs into your iCloud.
4 Track Your Movement
After logging into iCloud, the individual will have access to Find My. This can help him/her track your movement, and Find My also allows users to erase an iPhone remotely.
Hence, someone with your Apple ID and password could erase your device remotely.
All he/she will have to do is click Find My, select All Devices at the top of the page, and then find the name of the device he/she wants to track or delete to do so.
5 iMessages
If someone logs into your Apple ID on the web, they can't see or send your iMessages.
However, if on an Apple device:
All iMessages you send and receive will be viewed on another device once someone logs into your Apple ID. They can even send iMessages in your name.
6 iCloud Drive/Notes/Calendar/Keychain
Other things that someone may be able to see after logging into your iCloud:
- Calendar
- Documents stored in the iCloud Drive
- Notes
- The spreadsheets you had created online using the Numbers feature
- Presentations created using the Keynote feature
- Reminders
- iCloud Settings
These can be viewed on the web or an Apple device by signing into iCloud.
What's worse:
If your friend or an acquaintance logs into your Apple ID through macOS X or iOS, he/she will have access to your Keychain. All your other accounts stored in it will become vulnerable.
This is all about if someone has your iCloud what can they see, and now you have an idea about the data that can be leaked.
Part 2: Will I Get Notified if Someone Logs into My Apple ID?
Will I get notified if someone logs into my Apple ID?
The short answer is: Yes!
Since 2017, Apple has added security and iCloud login notification if your Apple ID login on a new device.
If the login is unauthorized by you, you can remove the iCloud account, the Apple ID as well.
It gets better:
If you've set up two-factor authorization (2FA), it is impossible for the unauthorized log in unless they also have access to your other device that allows the verification.
Only if someone has your Apple ID and password, access to your device that receives the verification code (if you set up 2FA), and a device that you previously had logged in, can they log into your iCloud without your knowing.
