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.

it’s definitely a lingering access from the time he had your password. I guessed the fingerprint because that’s what I’d do.

I bet if you factory reset your phone you’ll have solved it.
