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

It’s totally normal. Everyone who operates a Google account from iOS devices will see this. Nothing is installed on anyone’s phones. It’s software that Google uses for managing logins on iOS devices. It’s a security measure so that you can see what devices are logged into your account.

I was told by Google that permission is asked and just be given for iOS to attach. Personally, being as I never gave permission, I’m getting it removed. I’m just not comfortable with it because it’s not checkable on a regular basis, that I can find. I’ll update if you need and if you’ve learned anything since, could you please share? Thank you!

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!

so I went into the apple shop today and it is scary what I was told in regards to my situation. iOS account manager is set up by organisations to have control. The guy said if the recent back up included the malware then my phone is as good as useless as this person can see everything of mine. I took a screenshot of something revealing for evidence and it isn’t there now 😩 I can assure you it is enabling this person to control every aspect of my online life ! She was in my Apple ID as well, really hoping apple can retrieve what she has deleted!

if apple can’t help

with a previous back up then the guy said I need to get a new phone as linked to serial number. Feels like something films are made of 😩

Was this an actual Apple Store? Or was it a third-party shop that sells apple products? Most of what you're reporting was told to you is nonsense. It sounds as if he was just trying to scare you into buying a new phone.

I have it also from what I’ve learned I called Apple to get help well I didn’t know they were going to go into my phone I saw a red arrow and I said what is that he said I gave him permission to help me yes I did but to guide me.! Now I’m freaking out cause he was acting in my phone the only thing I know is IOS manager means they were in our personal space meaning our phones.

I have this TOO. It’s new to me but I can not tap on anything to remove device.


question— does anybody have their kids in like a Independence Study programs or their kids iPad/ chromes hooked up to their Internet or devices? This could be spying on us through our kids, that is my other theory because of How this WorldAdministration is acting. Thank you for any future comments about this issue.

This is a very serious issue. I have the same happening and I know I have been forcibly, against my will, placed under some monitoring/management/restrictive/supervised closed and hidden network of some kind. It’s a kind of intervention program. I have been battling for 2 years to work it out/escape from the clutches of these insipid, incessive, spineless cowards who have done this. I have a list of names and any one, or more of the perpetrators are on it. I have a plethora of evidence, it’s just where to take it is what I am being careful with. This is a nasty, evil and systematic program inflicted on innocent victims like myself and many others. There is sinister access to your devices/accounts etc, believe it! I have had a developer in my phone, continual resets, system settings being changed, Telstra cases are immediately closed, ios software code is modified, extra trust certificates are installed, text in search fields written by remote access, Google remote desktop even installed itself, remotely on a clean computer after signing into a Gmail account. That is just a pinch of what I have experienced. This is very sophisticated, top authority level access and those inflicting it have absolutely no regard for peoples or small childrens welfare. You can’t trust any App, the copius alerts that pop up on screen, or anything really to be legitimate.

And so far I have been able to receive zero assistance, only to be gas lighted. It’s abhorrent! Seek high level professional paid help, but be careful as a rep from Apple advised me. All the very best of luck and please post any developments you may fortunately have as I will……

Lawrence, I have threatened that exact motion, practically word for word on many occasion. Unlike these oxygen thieving parasites, I have a spine and will not allow them to cowardly steal my basic human rights, my business, my freedoms from behind the false security of their screens. My day will come, patience is a virtue, and justice will be final.

P.S. The only trolling of interest to me is for Spanish Mackeral

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.
