How do I get somebody out of my phone that’s hacked into somehow. I can’t use find my or a few other passwords

Someone has gotten into my phone and is controlling specific apps. I can’t use find my because they turned it off. I want to use it, but I’m not able to. I don’t know when this started but it’s infuriating that it’s happening and I don’t know the slightest what to do about it.
