Weird message on phone: "your apple id and phone number are now being used for imessage and on a new iphone"
Quick question. My boyfriend received this message on his phone this morning. "your apple id and phone number are now being used for imessage and on a new iphone"
He doesn't have a new phone or any new devices. Also, he doesn't really use his iCloud account either. What does this mean?

From any of his devices he can change his password or he can go to www.icloud.com and change it directly there (will just have to login again from each device).

Just what it says. I get a similar message anytime I set up an iOS device. It is not necessarily a new iPhone, though. I've had to adjust iCloud settings on existing iPhones and have gotten that message.

That is very possible. He may wish to change his iCloud password.

Not sure what good that would do, don't know what if anything they would do. He should be able to see all the devices registered to his Apple ID to see if there are devices he does not recognize.
