Hi everyone,

me and my wife both upgraded from iPhone 6+ to iPhone X but since then my wife's phone has a recurring problem where it will just stop sharing its location randomly and has to be re-enabled to turn back on.

Bizarrely when she turns it back on it, it shows a preview of current location and shows what might be the sea but with some Chinese/Japanese looking text. When you click the location it then updates to show her real location in England but strange that defaults to the other location each time.

Also (but probably unrelated) is she has also had spam invites in her calendar like this article:

She has also recently changed her password recently and we've checked her associated devices list and there is only her iphone associated to her apple ID but a little worried she is getting her account accessed from a different country but don't see any real evidence.

Anyone else got any idea why it might keep turning off location sharing?

Cheers,

Tom
