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 have it on my phone and I know someone who is causing me great damage to my life and business is doing it. It appears it is a fake Google accounts app that installs some malware which makes you think your logging in to your accounts but really your passing your password into people who are hacking into your email. This woman has taken over my website and has had access to all passwords and has been reading , deleting mail and contacting Google support as though she is me. She has got hold of dns records of domain and has set up Google consoles , moved my hosting of website, it’s a nightmare and is ruining my business and life. If you have this on your phone, be very worried ! I can’t even reset my phone properly, going to a apple shop tomorrow for help. It isn’t good though!

I’ve finally found this out after searching for 3+ months on & off!

Its a mac or iOS app that gives google access to all your calendars, app, emails & more….. To remove it you to go into your google settings & revoke access.

can’t believe after all the searching I did I stumbled across it by mistake!

Anyway….hope this helps 👌🏽👍🏽😊

That’s correct, it is a Google app that coordinates content between Google apps on your phone. That’s been posted before in this now 9 page thread, you would have to read most of the thread to find it.

Same here! I have sent multiple screen recordings & snapshots of things that have happened with my phone. Tx msgs & emails being read & opened by someone else. My ex partner sent his sister & tx msg before Xmas but it came from my phone number. He was receiving every single iMessage & had my WhatsApp on his phone without me ever getting a single notification? Pictures & evidence vanishing. I had to install a lock folder on a old phone I had. Called the police bevause I believed it wasn’t him but thought someone was trying to send me round the bend, they even hacked into my tv & changed all of the picture/colour settings…… the police did nothing!! Because no money has been taken! I called cyber crime, again nothing, made to feel stupid for asking for help. Even tho me ask them was the final straw after being made to feel crazy for nearly 2 years!! I’m still waiting to hear back and it’s been 4 months. Time & mental health I will never get back but to Apple it means nothing.
I wish I didn’t need a smart phone so I could use a Nokia, but not possible in this world anymore.
Something really should be done, the amount of money we spend on Apple to get left out in the cold we we really need them is completely unfair. 🫨😔

Yes, that is exactly what would happen if you share an Apple ID with anyone else.

Same extract story here!! even my tv … also went to the German authorities but… my daughter (9 yrs of age) her 6 month old MacBook was also affected by this and max os could not be updated due to lack of space, even though has just used it for home schooling purposes and had nothing stored.. my notebook from work had be replaced 3 times because it had also been infected..

had to cancel credit cards after being signed up to multiple dating site and whatsoever..


Im pretty sure to know the sicko behind this whole …


pretty sure that authorizes have been monitoring this whole case, after noticing a a huge van pulling up next to house and hearing people taking in the rear (1-2:00 am)

pretty sure it was an cyber emergency response team in a mobile it forensic lab..

called criminal police Département twice on it and was just told that there is an ongoing investigation which is not targeted at me, which is also why they could not give me any further information and would have to end the conversation.. twice….

my guess is that my devices were taken over by my landlord in 2021. in 2023 I am still having issues with my devices and waiting for some kind of some kind of action through authorities and finally being informed of exactly what the cases was about..

i need to figure this out..

almost forgot to mention. I had also had an ip address coming from a US military connected to my daughters notebook at the time and didn’t know what to make out of it… last year I found some interessting news about the specific base and it role in an international task force against dark net stuff.. my landloard also provided me with internet from a rout only he had access too and I notice that he had 4 routers from exact same make and model. I caught him sneaking into Appartement above me where router was located and after he left ally devices where opferbereitere and had be reconnected manually the network.. every thing starrest acting up and shortly after a van pulled up and parked next to building with people in back quietly talking..


this whole thing had a huge impact on my life… I got sick through all this crap..

As you clearly didn’t read the thread you posted to, I will repeat what it has said over and over and over.


iOS Account Manager is a Google process that coordinates login between all of the Google apps logged in to your Google Account on your phone. There is nothing nefarious about it, it is not spyware, and it is not a government or industry conspiracy.


But if you don’t want to see it, just delete all of the Google apps you have on your phone.

Omg?! Same. Mine says the iSO Manager is in Nigeria. I signed it out. Daily Shorts on YouTube that I have not watched are showing in my Watch History. I know it’s not me cause I don’t watch Shorts often. I can still access my account and my Playlists and Subscriptions are not tampered with. I tried updating my password I’m not sure if that will help. I also agree it’s so annoying and worrisome. I recently changed my email. Grr! I just checked my old email account and the same thing is happening!

Even if it is not a threat you should not diss someone’s concern especially a parent’s. I don’t have kids but I can understand to an extent given my mom’s concern when some unknown activity appeared on my account in the past. As we relay on technology more, the more important it is to make sure our information is safe.

No one's concerns have been disrepected. Telling someone that this thing is not something to be afraid of is simply explaining reality to them.
