Nothing happens on your device automatically.


If you feel the settings are changed without your knowledge then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.

Thank you for answer. A couple phone backups ago, I noticed a mis.db profile on my iPhone ( provisioning profile) it is only visible after backup, I don’t see it on my phone, I did not install it on my phone by my self. I don’t have restricted permissions turn on as well. By any chance, is it possible that this profile is making these changes on my phone?
