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!

You need to explain what “the same thing” is. There were many different issues in the post that you responded to, and it is very unlikely that you had all of the identical problems, so please list specifically what the issue is.


If it is iOS Account Manager that is a non-issue, as iOS Account Manager is a legitimate Google app that syncs all of the Google apps on your iPhone with each other.

What you have found has absolutely nothing to do with iOS Account Manager, and it looks like logorrhea that came from an AI bot. As you would know if you had read the thread you posted to iOS Account Manager is a Google app that coordinates the interactions between the Google apps you have on your phone, so you don’t have to sign into each one separately, and data you enter in one will be available to the other Google apps on your phone.

I am having the same issue. When I was using android I experienced an issue with octopus device connected to my google account. Now I am on iOS and having this problem. In all the research I’ve done I believe that it is all connected to my employer. If you google iOS account manager you will come across Jamf which is an account manager for devices. I have been the project of someone for the past 4 years that I’m aware of, possibly longer since being in New Zealand. The person used my google accounts to create an account for octopus deploy using my email and my password. They created unique names as the project name such as, possible glass, graphite proton, praxis backup. I have no idea what they want. Since moving to iOS and changing passwords constantly, I still have them accessing my Microsoft account, google accounts and iCloud. At one stage the person was deleting my passwords from keychain and replacing them with old passwords. It’s all about deployment. If someone has any answers or help I would greatly appreciate it.

They won’t tell you the truth. Google and Apple and all of the cloud companies are selling software for businesses to deploy their devices in the company. I have my own private device and I am being deployed and trial experiments are being done. I will find the answers and I will take it to court. I have been told that I have a mental illness because of what has been happening to my devices for the past 6 years. Time to get some answers. Don’t believe everything that the big companies tell you.

I’m in the same boat. I’m dealing with the mental health issues for 4 years. My passwords vanished and changed multiple times. My settings on my phone were changed too. I have changed phones and accounts and passwords and still can’t keep them out. They got into my PlayStation 5 and locked me out. We all need to put our minds together and find the solution. Apple, Microsoft and most of the big enterprises are selling software to companies to deploy devices in their company. I have been investigating for over 4 years and if we all put our heads together we can help each other find the real answers.

Ok here it is -iOS account device/developer/manager is a HACKEd ACCOUNT!! Any one of the lateral above listed with manager tailed onto the last is a compromised phone entirely or account. By phone I know personally it would’ve had to of been FLASHED. You still here right? Okay that steals ur data minutes face time game time account phone number Everything . And you are linked staying on as a ghosted host unannounced and unknowing. The other is kind of like flash but your allowing permission to this host to link on log in when you do you on your phone like Screen Sharing. Everything..- or security key whatever—-And when they do either of those that “iOS manager app”with whatever in between -covers those hackings -relaying msg ,sms ,emails ,private “all”on Your Device, including of this list and whatever I Did Not Mention::; apps, files,games,photos,maps,visual voice, talkover,all that and the more. Good news yes it can be app delivered to screen and device and just like any app you can delete app data & catch and uninstall!!! But it takes a few days for the app to appear on screen to you.. so there it was and best of you to know. I know because it was done to me thru this same app..😉 good luck tho. I hope not any one of you are going thru this same bulls#*t!! Oh and always always search your phone history thru that app setting you can find out as much as the person hacking you of them!!! Remember BOTH phones are LINKED and stay linked even though two separate screens are different viewings in both flash and sharing ok . Sorry 2long….

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.

I really have no idea what you're talking about. You do not appear to have posted in this thread before so there is nothing for me to look at. You are certainly entitled to your opinion about how I (or Mr. Finch) answer things. If you don't like what we say, please, please, feel free to ignore us. I promise our feelings will not be hurt. And I will feel free to ignore your tone-trolling.

According to Google Support regarding “What is iOS Account Manager”:

”Do you mean 'iOS Account Manager'? If so, you'll need to seek support from Apple, as that is a system used by Apple to remotely manage devices via a company account. You may have been issued the device by a company or school, where the Admin there can advise you more about these settings. 

If you have acquired a device, that already has a 'iOS Account Manager' installed, then you need to ask the provider of the device to remove the management, or to arrange a return and request a refund.” [Source]


Given the vast amount of unanswered and locked questions on the Google Community asking the same question, and the absence of an official statement by Apple on the origin of the application it should be regarded as suspicious.


If you are seeing Google Workspace imagery and references related to InteractiveLogin, ServiceLogin and Google API when logging in or using their services and you do not have a subscription with them then, you should raise this them via their social media account on X/Twitter (as there is no other way to contact them since you probably don’t know who is the Administrator).

I am having the exact same problem, and performed a google search on the topic, and ended up coming across your post.


I don’t see an app located in the App Store for iOS account manager, and neither Apple or Google seem to be able to provide an answer.


Additionally, when I login to my Google account and perform a security check, click on devices, all I see is an extensive list of multiple sessions tied to iOS account manager. I sign out of each session but continue to come across the same issue.


if you or anyone else is able to help, or can provide some feedback on this matter please let me know.


Thank you,


Brandon

Disagree , I think we’ve Definitely been hacked. I’ve been dealing with your exact issues but have found more, “they” (?) have full access to my device with control over it. Stalking x-husband purchased devices, set them up in my name. I have found SO Much. UNBELIEVABLE Apple & Google- NO HELP Whatsoever. I wish us all Luck !
