Hey guys .. i have read most of the comments and arguments you wrote. Actually i am facing the same problem, but what I figured out its and application who IT people know it mostly and some clever guys who uses mac as well , there is something called apple configuration on laptops through this who has ur password or any physical contact with ur phone can manage ur phone .. on google or edge (Microsoft) browser make search for iOS account manager and you will find some answers also on apple site go to develop and codes something like that you will find ur answer. The only question that i have now is how to unlink my email from this ….:

The Apple Configurator requires that the Mac be logged into your Apple ID, or that your iPhone have an MDM profile. So unless your Apple ID has been compromised or you have such a profile it is a non-issue.

To check if you have an MDM profile: Go to Settings/General/VPN & Device Management. If you don’t see a profile you don’t have one.

To see who has access to your Apple ID→Checklist: If you want to see if anyone else has access to your device or accounts - Apple Support. If you see anyone you don’t recognize you can remove them. And also then review→If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

iOS account manager has nothing to do with either of the above. It is a Google app that coordinates activities between the Google apps on your iPhone (Google Maps, Google Search, Youtube, gmail, Waze, Google One, Google Photos, etc) so you don’t have to log in to each one individually.

Is there any way to have a phone conversation ? I have reset these thing 3 times over 2 weeks .But they keep going back to an old back up, I think ? Like within the day ? I think some how I am under the control of Google Admin and Microsoft Admin? I keep changing the passwords ?! Does no good!

What I have noticed when the my setting all change and the messages are from a previous month snd my contacts show double or triple repeated names/ numbers and my Messages will be turned off under iCloud is that my picture in settings flash’s from the Old Generic look to my picture when I go to setting to see what’s been changed . I let T-mobile close my account as they wanted to double my bill again (5 months in a row) T-mobile is worthless! I never got to make many calls! OMG? I don’t know what to do! I have learned more then I wanted to know and I still can not use my IPhones ?( and the L2TP that will not let me turn ‘send all traffic thru off’ has something to do with my issues!( I don’t have a VPN !)Im signed out and got this message ? I normally only get it when signed in?

Did you ever find any answers, information, confirmation or who can investigate this?

Just had a look for myself on my own Google account. Seems totally innocuous to me. It’s just log of what devices you’ve logged into Google on. I think iOS Account Manager is just because it’s iOS devices involved. I would worry about it - I’m certainly not going to.

You’d only need to be worried about devices you don’t recognise.

Hi Rupert,

I was hoping you might have a moment and be able to help me? I have the same issue with iOS. I never gave permission for this and permission does have to be given. Do you know how do I detach iOS? I’ve asked Google 3x and 3 months later, still no answer. Thank you very much, really appreciate any assistance.

Looks like my Apple ID is compromised as well, as odds on isn’t my ID , this is a nightmare 😓 I tried to follow supports instructions of resetting phone to factory reset and it took my details at that point I think. Why is it coming up with a fake ID now ? I’m exhausted trying to secure my accounts. Every recovery email I put for my gmail it affected, took over my sons account as well. Getting past 2 factor , Google Authenticator! Manually having to check at all hours to remove her from my account. I’ve managed to secure my gmail for the time being by keeping the recovery emails in a circle, otherwise it was never ending!

Fitchic15,

What if a friend purchased a iPhone for me and I have my own phone bill for the number that’s attached to the device but the device itself and all payments are on her bill and she makes all payments? Is it ‘her’ device? How, if codes etc, come to me and my device could she possibly enroll/MDM? Thank you for the mention,

I appreciate knowing this. It makes total sense but I just didn’t think it though.

Go to Settings/General/VPN & Device Management. Is there a management profile? If there isn’t there is no MDM on the phone. In addition, to install MDM on a phone you need to register with Apple’s Enterprise Support service, be approved as a legitimate business by Apple and pay a substantial fee. So no MDM.

Lawrence Finch I have tried and fight for three months with Apple just trying to get my own data. Every worker I talk to for the first time said it all looked very suspicious and they are definitely gonna get down to it. Same with the supervisors they transferred me to yet, the next day I would talk to the supervisors they would simply tell me there’s nothing they can do they have no idea and that was that still haven’t received my information. Not to mention it was **** trying to stay in contact with them because somebody else was using my accounts to communicate with Apple.🤷🏼‍♂️

If you would be so kind as to give a look to my response directed towards Mr. Finch. As I continue to work further into this thread it would have prudent to add your name to my response as the exact behavior described in my comment to Mr. Finch is being displayed by yourself. The incessant use of dismissive words, repeatedly, in addition to the undertones of frustration and hasty loss of composure is as much of a red flag as disgraceful, vindictive ruse that fools few readers here.

Best of luck!
