Device Management

Did you purchase this iPhone new?
Was it in a factory sealed box?
Did you get it at an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Retailer?
If not, what are all the particulars of how you got this iPhone, its previous owner(s), etc.?
Have you ever shared your Apple ID?
Might your iPhone be restricted, say, by parents or a family member?

Thanks but the candidate will never admit to this.

I should have mentioned with this inquiry that I haven’t consented to any ‘device management’; I am not a student nor an employee. Someone most definitely has access to much more than they should know about me /all that I do on my iPhone .eg read email/messages and delete or re-route them…browsing Hx…you name it.

This person has effectively ousted me as admin and become me!

And I do not know how to find their I.D. and then stop them?

•iPhone purchased 2nd hand but by close friend - to best of my knowledge I was first to take possession however close friend did the negotiation on price etc

•My AppleID has been stolen yes I know by whom but can’t prove it and APPLE can’t help

•Obviously I’ve got many concerns about restrictions and that’s what prompted me to post this question - I’m newish to iOS and I’m floundering about..clearly. But I know I’m not in control of this iPhone, yes I’ve changed passwords, got 2F etc etc but still I’m effectively ‘hacked’ to use a word I really would rather not
