If you no longer have access to your Apple identifier and your iPhone, a friend can help you come back.
There is a special function called recovery contact which allows you to designate people to restore your accounts.
If you have been hacked or if you cannot access your account, this is the ideal solution.
This is a new feature integrated into iOS 15, the latest update of your iPhone software.
You will have to choose a trusted person: a partner, a close family member or a longtime friend.
This person can help you regain control of your account and your devices in seconds.
But beware: choose only a recovery contact in which you have absolute confidence.
It is important that you configured this option before having been hacked or blocked, so don't wait.
