In the next section, we will tell you if someone has your Apple ID what can they see, discuss iCloud login notification, and provide you with ways to remotely remove devices associated with your iCloud account, and delete iCloud account without password.

For many reasons, you might once have lent your Apple ID to someone, but it's not secure, and if someone logs in to your Apple ID they can see your privacy more or less, and what they can see depends on if they log in to your Apple ID over the web or on an Apple device.

Here are the specifics on if someone has your Apple ID what can they see.

If someone has your iCloud what can they see:

1 Your Mail

If someone has your Apple ID can they see your texts?

Yes, if you use iCloud Mail, your emails will be accessible to anyone who has both your Apple ID and password and can also send an email in your name.

It gets worse:

With your mail, they can change your password to any other accounts that are linked to it. Then they can log into your other accounts.

Namely, if someone logs into your Apple ID, they have access to your email accounts and much of your private information.

2 Contacts

By logging into your iCloud account, someone can access your contact list.

To view your contacts, anyone who has both your Apple ID and password will only need to click Contacts after logging into iCloud.

That is to say:

By giving out your Apple ID, you're also giving out the privacy of your friends and family.

3 Photos

If someone has your Apple ID can they see your photos?

Yes, After logging into iCloud and clicking the Photos icon, anyone with your Apple ID and password will be able to access your photos in your iCloud.

Here is an example:

4 Track Your Movement

After logging into iCloud, the individual will have access to Find My. This can help him/her track your movement, and Find My also allows users to erase an iPhone remotely.

Hence, someone with your Apple ID and password could erase your device remotely.

All he/she will have to do is click Find My, select All Devices at the top of the page, and then find the name of the device he/she wants to track or delete to do so.

5 iMessages

If someone logs into your Apple ID on the web, they can't see or send your iMessages.

However, if on an Apple device:

All iMessages you send and receive will be viewed on another device once someone logs into your Apple ID. They can even send iMessages in your name.

6 iCloud Drive/Notes/Calendar/Keychain

Other things that someone may be able to see after logging into your iCloud:

• Calendar
• Documents stored in the iCloud Drive
• Notes
• The spreadsheets you had created online using the Numbers feature
• Presentations created using the Keynote feature
• Reminders
• iCloud Settings

These can be viewed on the web or an Apple device by signing into iCloud.

What's worse:

If your friend or an acquaintance logs into your Apple ID through macOS X or iOS, he/she will have access to your Keychain. All your other accounts stored in it will become vulnerable.

This is all about if someone has your iCloud what can they see, and now you have an idea about the data that can be leaked.

Will I get notified if someone logs into my Apple ID?

The short answer is: Yes!

Since 2017, Apple has added security and iCloud login notification if your Apple ID login on a new device.

1 Will someone know if I log into their iCloud?

Someone will not know only if you log into that iCloud account from a browser or device that the iCloud owner Trusted. Again, you must know the iCloud account password.

Otherwise, if the owner didn't enable the Trusted option for the browser or device, then they'll know if you log into their iCloud.

2 Can you see what devices are using your iCloud?

Yes, you can see all the devices using your iCloud. To check them out:

• Open iTunes and sign in with your Apple ID.
• Then check at the top of iTunes window and choose Account > View My Account.

And No if the 2-factor authentication feature is turned on.

4 Can someone see my texts through iCloud?

Yes! The availability of monitoring tools makes it easy for anyone to log into iCloud to check text messages and other online activities. They can use the readily available information on the open web or make some guesses about information about you.

5 Does iCloud notify you when someone logs in?

Apple does not notify you of suspicious activity but will alert you via email whenever the system picks up a sign-in from a device that you've never used before to sign in to your account.

It then alerts you to take action if it's not you who just signed in. The email will include the exact device that signed in, the time of sign, and the location.

• Otherwise, you'll just ignore it if it's you who signed in with a different device.
