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

Hey guys .. i have read most of the comments and arguments you wrote. Actually i am facing the same problem, but what I figured out its and application who IT people know it mostly and some clever guys who uses mac as well , there is something called apple configuration on laptops through this who has ur password or any physical contact with ur phone can manage ur phone .. on google or edge (Microsoft) browser make search for iOS account manager and you will find some answers also on apple site go to develop and codes something like that you will find ur answer. The only question that i have now is how to unlink my email from this ….:

The Apple Configurator requires that the Mac be logged into your Apple ID, or that your iPhone have an MDM profile. So unless your Apple ID has been compromised or you have such a profile it is a non-issue.


To check if you have an MDM profile: Go to Settings/General/VPN & Device Management. If you don’t see a profile you don’t have one.


To see who has access to your Apple ID→Checklist: If you want to see if anyone else has access to your device or accounts - Apple Support. If you see anyone you don’t recognize you can remove them. And also then review→If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support


iOS account manager has nothing to do with either of the above. It is a Google app that coordinates activities between the Google apps on your iPhone (Google Maps, Google Search, Youtube, gmail, Waze, Google One, Google Photos, etc) so you don’t have to log in to each one individually.

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

It’s a hacker who has taken over your device and you are now most likely just an end-user in his sick game of “How many people can I exploit today”. Check your properties on any app or if your files say .dll or .exe, or .html, and if you check your devices manager and see a printer that says .xml or something similar, it’s actually Microsoft Notepad that’s the server controlling your device. Uninstalling it works for about 60 secs before its “persistent” settings reinstall it almost immediately. Good luck as I have yet to stop my hack for more than 11 days was the longest.

The file extensions .dll, .exe (not used on Macs or iPhone, by the way) and .xml are all legitimate file extensions. Microsoft Notepad is a legitimate text editing app for Windows. It's not a server and it can't control anything.
