I got a message on phone when it was locked, it was grey message and came up with SMS. I clicked why it was I was receiving it and when I read that I clicked dismiss. But it was a warning message.

I asked why I revived it, it says something about sending instant messages or someone is trying to hack my account.

I just want to know whether I was hacked or not and if I was what can I do.

Hacked what account? Apple ID? Do you have more than one Apple device?

You can go to https://appleid.apple.com/uk/ and change your password if you're worried.

I've read the OP several times, forwards, backwards, upside down and inside out and am no nearer to making any sense of it.

I will try and explain again. I think I was a little stressed out by it last night.

I got a message on my phone when it was locked.
It was a grey SMS message.
It was only there for seconds, so I couldn't screenshot it.
. But it had a warning message. I'm not sure if its apple or something else.

Also the message had !!!!!!!!!! in it.

I asked why I received it, it says something about sending instant messages or someone is trying to hack my account.

I just want to know whether I was hacked or not and if I was what can I do. Your help is much appreciated.

Sounds like a broadcast message which the iPhone displays in a grey box - typically used by some networks to show prepay credit balances etc.

Most likely text spam and you should ignore it.

You could try looking for it in your notifications by swiping down from top of screen. My notifications from Sky News and BBC News tend to only show for seconds and then vanish but I can read them again in notifications.
