Did someone hack my iPhone?

Hi Guys, I have received a phising message on 20th October that i did NOT click, however I noticed that my phone started sharing location with this contact (10:28) then stopped it (10:32) then it sent the point of my location (10:36). Is it possible that i got hacked somehow? Around this time I was on a photoshoot with my 6 months old son and there is a slight possibility that he could do this from my applewatch but honestly i doubt it. What do you think i shoul do? Could someone hacked my phone? Are they able to access my mobile bank as well? Thanks in advance!

I’d suggest (if Apple has not already done so) activating lockdown mode in privacy settings, image attached (scroll right to the bottom to find the option)

does lockdown work once you've been infected?

Apples support site says it better than I can, but effectively it limits the attack options by blocking a considerable number of regular features until the device can be checked and cleared
