Apple ID being used somewherelse
My iPad says someone is signing in using my email address in the South of England and I live in the North. How can this happen? I have changed my Apple ID password now.
iPad, iOS 13

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen, about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.
If that isn't the case, the e-mail may be a scam, especially if there is a link for you to click.

Hi, thank you Eric Root. It was a pop up as I was signing in. I feel reassured.
It was not in an email with a link.
Thank you very much for the explanation
You are welcome.
