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

What’s impossible? And I have no clue about ‘Jailbroken?’ Could I have done that by dropping the IPhone with no case to protect it?

For all practical purposes it is not possible to hack (jailbreak) a phone, unless you do it yourself and you are extremely knowledgeable. It requires physical possession of the phone while it is unlocked, and takes 15-30 minutes. So if you didn’t do this and you never handed the phone to someone who knows how to do it for long enough time your phone has not been hacked.

I completely ABREE! They never have the right answers, then will ask you about things THEY SEE ON YOUR ACCOUNT, Then you ask what they are talking about them they completely avoid answering. If they see things that we didn’t approve then why aren’t they helping us to remove it and block who or whatever it’s coming from.

Ever since this happened to me I have been locked out of my email as well as right after the hacked Spyware Update from Apple of 16.1 and my outlook email was for my 2 factor codes to ALL of many of my accounts and I’ve been locked out since September of all of my personal accounts and information in each one as well as photos of my grandchildren remain locked in them!!!!

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Apple. And Apple can’t do anything about the fact that Google has added malware protection to your Google apps.


If you update to iOS 16.2 it will go away from the display, but it will still be on your phone behind the scenes, still protecting your Google apps from being compromised.

I have spin dumps, kernel panics, and firewall pictures displaying where this all is going. Through Apples very own servers via port 443. The characteristics initially made me think that perhaps this was Pegasus. Multiple devices, apple ids, and emails did not change anything. The real kicker is…even signed out of iCloud the device still connects through these channels.

If’s person did have control of my iPhone ( stolen) and I got new phones could they ( thief) use the stolen device to connect to my new iPhones ?(Does changing ( making ) a new Apple ID help?? (Add question )

It is not possible for anyone to have control of your phone, so the rest of your question is irrelevant.


If someone knows your Apple ID and password and you did not have 2 factor authentication on your Apple ID account then that person could see data that you had synced to iCloud, and they could disable your phone by marking it lost using Find My. But they still couldn’t “control” your phone, except to disable it. And the easiest solution is to change your Apple ID password, which would block them. This is 100% foolproof unless you choose a weak password that someone who knows you could guess.


And if you add 2 factor authentication, they couldn’t hack your account even if they could find out your Apple password.

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?

iOS account manager can be controlled through Google workspace. I’m pretty sure it’s controlled by an administrator and if you’re the user you’re no longer you. Once you’re in there system your just a user and you have to get the admin or “account manager”to release you. It’s very difficult to find lit on this. They speak in code and they can see all your gmails get alerts if certain words are said even your location. It’s for businesses to watch every key stroke or “thought” they might have.

thats obviously not the best answer! If he didn’t install this mdm organization or business owner software where u need to be a google super admin (at least I was made one) then NO U WONT HAVE A PROFILE if someone else put it on there… and if u do it may be hard to find it hidden and make u sign into your work or school or biz email .. which may be yours with a domain name abd your real email … look I know where mine admin of my phone came from with his seedy evil narcissistic never ending bullshit that’s straight jacket material …. But ONE THING LOOK IT UP AND TELL ME WHAT U FIND … I can tell ya all about it … apple won’t
