Check your device list to see if there is a device signed in that you don't recognize. You can remove the device using the steps in the article below. As a precaution, change your password.

Hello there,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. If we're understanding correctly, you'd like to know if there's a possible backup in iCloud that can be restored to an iPhone or an iPad. You can view and manage the iCloud backups by following these steps on an iOS device:


1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

2. Do one of the following:
- iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Tap iCloud Backup.
- iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups.
You see the devices with iCloud Backup turned on.

3. To delete a backup, tap the name of a device, then tap Delete & Turn Off Backup (or Delete Backup).

That information is outlined here: View and manage iCloud device backups - Apple Support


If we misunderstood, please provide the community additional details of your inquiry. This way we can gain a better understanding and provide you the best support.


Kind regards.
