What is iOS Account Manager?

Hello there, I was checking my google account security settings and I found out that "iOS Account Manager" is connected to my account but I've no idea what it is. I tried to log out from my account on my iPhone but when I log into YouTube it still appears (so it might can be related to yt but idk why). I also logged into safari and when I check for new logins in my google account setting it just says that safari is connected. You guys have any ideas on what this account manager is? sorry for my bad english.


iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

I would feel better if I was able to view and open the main sign in date that has the “IOS Account Manager” showing. When it says there are 13 sessions running and I tap on it to view those sessions and close what I don’t want or I don’t know it won’t even open. I just waited 2 hours to speak to a lady at Google and she said that she had no idea what it could be or how to address it because she is only Google help, Not Apple. And that only Apple can use “IOS”.

I called My Apple and even shared my screen and showed them and He had no clue what it is either. Who in the heck knows? “Account Manager” usually is IT

or companies managing their own devices in their network. It’s off my phone if I don’t have Google on my phone or signed in to Google. Then there’s the issue of not being able to use Google services completely if I’m not signed in. I’m so confused and

I Want this off my personal account.

Who knows what it is getting from our phones without us being able to do anything and NO ONE knows anything…

just sayin…

Some people here said that we have been hacked because we got this “iOS Account Manager” stuff but I dont think so. A lot of people have this “third party service” connected to their accounts but as I read in a google support forum it’s a legit service owned by google (but please don’t think that what i read it’s actually true)

Hello Riccardo2424,


Is this device your own personal device or a managed device? We'd check for any installed profiles and remove them: Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple Support


Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone

Configuration profiles define settings for using iPhone with corporate or school networks or accounts. You might be asked to install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from a webpage. You’re asked for permission to install the profile and, when you open the file, information about what it contains is displayed. You can see the profiles you have installed in Settings  > General > Profiles & Device Management. If you delete a profile, all of the settings, apps, and data associated with the profile are also deleted.


If it wasn't being managed by a profile, then you'd want to connect with Google Support: https://support.google.com Since this is happening when you sign in to the Google account, they would be the best to answer this.


Wishing you well, cheers.

Guys, I’ve searched into the google support community and as a “specialist” said this iOS Account Manager “service” means that I (and you) have given the access to a google service installed on iOS (like youtube for me) to my (and your) google account so I think we’re now able 2 sleep peacefully. Btw I’m not 100% sure that this stuff is finally resolved but the most logical answer to this big question seems the best.
