Gmail account or iPhone hacked

I got a couple of replies to emails that were sent by my iPhone that had links for the recipient to go to. Both responses to emails that had the signature "Sent from my iPhone." I haven't seen any replies to emails sent from my home computer. I had an email like this on 4/26, so I changed my password. Now it's happening again. Is it possible my iPhone is infected with something?

Normally they only use your emailaddress as a sender-address. Those emails most probably dont come from your phone or Gmail-account at all.

Could be they just put that in their signature line to fool people into thinking it was from you.

Yeah, I don't picture someone hacking an iPhone 6. Hopefully it's just spoofing. Still annoying!
