In settings on my iPhone 8 full trust for root certificates has been enabled/ toggled as on. This option to toggle it as off has been greyed out and I cannot acces this selection to turn this trust level of root certificates to off.

How do I change the above trust level if it is a concern and does the above indicate that my phone might have been hacked

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Hey Leonidus77,


It sounds like you have some questions about root certificates on your iPhone. We can understand wanting to know more about that. We want to help.


Some root certificates are trusted automatically as they are a part of iOS. You can learn more about that here: Available trusted root certificates for Apple operating systems


You may have a profile installed on your iPhone or enrolled in Mobile Device Management. This is often the case if the iPhone is associated with a school or business. A profile or Mobile Device Management can add trusted certificates and change the available options that you can adjust in Settings. You can check to see if you have a profile installed in Settings > General > Device Management. You can learn more about that here: Install a configuration profile on your iPhone or iPad


Thanks!
