I apologize if this is not the right place to post – I’m still a newb!
I noticed today that the new game “Populus Run” was installed on my iPhone. The funny thing is I never installed it!! I have stayed up late the last few nights and I have fallen asleep with my finger on the screen before… (causing some apps to be moved around,) I do not see how I could have installed it while half asleep. I have 12 mini and it requires a double click of the power button plus face ID to complete a purchase. I got kind of weirded out and deleted it right away.
What REALLY makes it interesting, is it does not show up in my purchase history. Also, when I search for the game in the App Store, I see the “get” button and not the iCloud icon indicating that I’ve previously downloaded it.
I’ve read that if you share your account, there’s a setting that automatically downloads apps others have downloaded. While I do have family sharing with my wife, she NEVER buys anything on the App Store. In addition to that, it doesn’t show up in her history either.
Am I overreacting? Is there a chance my account has been hacked? Either way for safety’s sake, I’ll change my iCloud pw.
Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
