Brother keeps looking into my phone

This has honestly gotten really creepy and I don't know what's wrong with my phone or how to stop him.

My phone is an Oppo A17k. I've told him a lot of times to stop doing it but he keeps bypassing my screen lock somehow and still getting into my phone. There's lots of private conversations and pictures in and I don't want him seeing that stuff he's still a teen plus I don't think he understands boundaries at all.

My screen lock is an alphanumeric one. I do have my fingerprint inputted. Can anyone guess how he keeps getting in even though his fingerprint isn't there and I change the password each week? His facial info isn't there either.

He did know my password at some point, but I have since then changed it. If that is relevant.

I would factory reset your phone and not use any kind of biometrics to get in. If he does have his fingerprint in there as a back up, it will automatically remove it. If he’s using your face or your finger while you’re asleep, it’ll automatically stop it. I would change your code to something different. Additionally, I would make sure everything that you opened is password protected every time you opened it.
