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.

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.

this has taken over my life for nearly two years now- even though I went and purchased own phone with own account he/they/it still was able to do the same on new phone, computer and TV

has anyone found a solution? this is intrusive and is causing much trauma to my life. More so because no one knows or understands what O’m talking about.

this includes devices and banking being (what appears to be) used as an asset
