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

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.🤷🏼‍♂️

Well, I t’s actually Spyware. If it wasn’t your company, if it’s a company-owned phone, it was probably installed by, as is my case, a totally controlling, sadistic piece of **** boyfriend. Most likely a boyfriend or a rival because it has the ability to “mimic,” all of the features of your actual device.


So, because my man is literally trying to drive me insane, he uses that account manager authority to shut off my ability to make or receive calls, after one particular fight, he went and changed all of my online account login details and even went further and put a 16-digit “Passcode,” on all of the accounts he changed and or deleted. And since, he monitors my phone 24/7, HE usually would get the reset recovery link before me, and he’d use it, so by the time I got to it, it would tell me the code was already used and is now invalid.


GET TO THE ROOT OF IT NOW OR JUST BACK YOUR WHOLE PHONE SYSTEM SETTINGS AND ALL, UP TO THE CLOUD AND THEN JUST FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE.


Good Luck!!


AND INSTRUCTED THE CALL CENTER REP THAT, “NO ONE WITHOUT THAT PASSCODE HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE THERE REGARDING {{MY}} THIS ACCOUNT.


Betcha guessed it, I don’t know the passcode.


So I’m locked out of 4 Gmail accounts, Two Microsoft accounts, my Yahoo account and my live.com account.

Along with my 11 Credit Card accounts, my Apple ID, my iCloud, Google, Microsoft 365 accounts.


PLUS MY SOCIAL MEDIA. 4 F8 Accounts, alone. My YT Premium, YT Music Premium, Paramount Plus, Prime, HBO MAX,


JUST EVERYTHING.


HE EVEN CHANGED ALL MY RECOVERY OPTIONS. Phone#, email addresses, ect.


And that’s not even the half of what he has been able to do since October 27, 2022. The exact day he installed it onto my phone.


And neither I, nor. At Least 6 APPLE TECH SUPERVISORS, can even find it listed or downloaded anywhere on either my hardware or in the software of any of my Apple devices.


I’m just at wits-end and seriously leaning towards heading back to Android.


I probably have had only androids for 21 of the 30+ years of owning mobiles and I NEVER RECALL ANYBODY EVER having the ability to gain such ABSOLUTE CONTROL over my life and happiness the way my; selfish, DOMINEERING, ruthless, nefarious, “life partner,” has done all within one short 30-day span of time.

I swear, the reps are usually young Asian women whenever I call, and after 2-3 hours of trouble-shooting to no avail, you can literally hear both the frustration and the exhaustion in their voices when they finally breakdown and say,


“There’s nothing else we can do. But rest-assured, we are Apple and we take SECURITY very seriously. There is obviously something going on with your account and devices, and since you’ve been so patient with me these last few hours, I PROMISE YOU, that this is now my top priority.


I’m going to keep working on this on my end and let’s schedule a call back to you later this morning from me and I’ll also have our MOST SENIOR SECURITY OFFICER on the call, as well. And you’re in luck. My morning meeting got cancelled and the Senior Official doesn’t arrive for more than an hour yet. So let’s schedule it for 6AM your time (ME: 👀👀 looking at my bedside alarm clock and noting that it’s already currently 4:58 AM and I haven’t slept a wink in days👀👀)



Me: “OK, Fine. I’ll speak with you then. Goodbye.”


Hangs up phone. Never hears from that lady ever again.


UGHHH🤬🤬🤬

It is none of those things. You may have spyware on your phone if you have a profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management, or if someone had physical possession of your phone while it was unlocked, but that has nothing to do with iOS Account Manager, which is a Google service that protects your google apps on your phone from being hacked.

The iOS Account Manager is Google Account Manage platform for iOS, which protects your account from hackers when logging in on your iOS device and using Google apps and services. It also reminds you that your Google account is being used on an iOS device. 


You are likely to have it if you belong to a Google Workspace Group, or have a gmail account in the iOS Mail app, or other Google apps on your phone.


If you are concerned about spyware on your phone there is a simple solution: Restore your phone to factory settings, and set it up as a new phone without restoring a backup→Restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Well, this is a user-to-user forum, not the “Apple support team”. But they can’t anything about a Google app. From:https://www.fireebok.com/resource/how-to-remove-ios-account-manager-from-google-account.html

In the Iphone setting there is Direct Touch Apps. A hacker continued to make Norton password security app. Their VPN. And several other apps. Accessible by keeping a check next to them. I would uncheck it, and within two seconds they would check it right back. Look for the accessibility UI server./L2TP VPN ( send all traffic

) to be turned on .( even if you don’t have a VPN) that is **** your settings are getting changed? Or that’s how mine seem to be?

That is impossible, unless you jailbroke your phone.

I don’t want google tracking my stuff. Somehow google maps attached me to an old gmail account and i can’t delete this link. Google maps is tracking me through this iOS account manager and i have no way of signing out. Please help.

Unfortunately, neither the other users in this user-to-user forum nor Apple can solve this Google problem. You will have to check with Google support.


Can you log into Google using the old account, changing the password if necessary, then delete it?
