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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

Thank you so much for this. If my bank accounts and every email account weren’t being compromised repeatedly, maybe I wouldn’t worry about it as much. But the “iOS account manager” tied to Google is a discovery made after investigating what could be going on.. (why do I not see settings I should be able to see, how is someone getting into all my accounts and changing the passwords AND authentication device, why does this keep happening after buying multiple brand new devices, changing all pws frequently, creating all new accounts and still dealing with the same stuff for months) is there any such group outside of this thread where we can discuss live and hopefully get to a resolution quicker??

I think it’s Pegasus as well. Have you tried getting in touch with authorities? I had/have a case open, but as soon as the investigators told me all my passwords were out somewhere public, and I needed to change them (which I obviously had MANY times) I was dismissed. When fraudulent charges on my accounts came through I called back and the agents conveniently don’t work in that department anymore so I would have to start explaining every bit to a different group of people.

based on what everyone on this thread has mentioned, it’s clearly been detrimental to our lives and all we’ve been asking for is answers but everyone likes to stay quiet these days. Something definitely needs to be done because paying all these taxes to gov entities that don’t even protect you is wild.

You are hacked with preset settings in your registry set to persist. I’ve been going through this for 5 years, and $12,000 later (spent in security people, apps, devices, firewalls, vpn’s, you name it! Hacker has your personal data it will trigger a bot EVERYTIME you use your real name no matter what device you use, and nobody in law enforcement, or at customer support will even speak with you if it’s Windows, nor will your ISP (They’d be liable if they agreed you are hacked). Laws are screwed up for non-enterprise customers. You can’t even get security as a service for your network unless you have like 50 end users or more. I suggest you read your license and it WILL have somewhere in that explaining how you are an end-user, and tells you to return the product if you don’t want to give up your privacy.

Hope that helps
