I left my iPhone 13 charging in my room while my husband and I were together in the living room. When I returned, the phone showed a blocked or owner-related message. I've been using this same phone since 2023, and there was nobody else in the house. I'm concerned that someone may have accessed my Apple Account. Is this something I should worry about?

If you’re the legitimate owner and the phone accepted your passcode or Apple Account credentials, this probably isn’t evidence that someone accessed your account. The exact wording matters, though—take a screenshot or note the message and check your Apple Account’s device list for anything unfamiliar.
Could you clarify the exact message and how you got past it? Also, confirming the model, purchase source, and whether the phone was bought new or used may help determine whether this was a normal security lockout or an ownership-related activation issue.
I’m the owner and have been using this iPhone 13 since 2023. I’ll check the devices connected to my Apple Account.
