How do I prevent unauthorized access to my iPhone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

I have an iPhone 15 and I need to find out how to stop someone from accessing my Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and Bluetooth from another device. There have been people hacking into my phone. Please help.

Accessing a common WiFi network does not open the door of your “updated and current” device to an attacker.


But to keep others off your WiFi, change it’s passphrase — usually in the router’s wireless setup screen — and don’t share it.


For bluetooth, just kick off anyone you don’t recognize.


Bluetooth pairing generally requires active participation at both ends; so impmement effective access controls to keep unauthorized individuals from “pairing” going forward.

No one can access your Bluetooth unless they put a device in pairing mode and you actually connect to it. As to Wifi, if you don't share your Wifi password (assuming your Wifi is password locked) that too cannot be accessed without the correct password.


It's highly unlikely anyone is hacking your Wifi or Bluetooth. What makes you believe someone is?
