I received text that someone was trying to log in to my Apple ID from China couple of days ago. I have changed the password on my phone. when I tried to up the new Apple ID on my MacBook it shows my location is in Leicester or near Leicester. I liven in London.

I am just wondering what's going on?


also I have 2 phone numbers on my apple account and how can I remove one of the number?


thank you

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.


To remove the number from your ID, you need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
