Finding and deleting a configured profile on iPhone
How can I find out if there’s another configured profile on my phone? And how can I delete it, if I find one?

Your current approach for attempting to resolve whatever is happening here has clearly failed. To see one of those failures, scroll up and re-read your original posting here, which, to put it very gently, has seemingly omitted some very important and very relevant details.
You’re either the target for immensely expensive exploits from a well-funded adversary as you’ve mentioned, or there’s something else happening unrelated to IT and as I’ve encountered elsewhere — and forums aren’t particularly unable to help with either.
If you’re at high risk, you will want to engage formal assistance.
Here is what Apple recommends, and who to contact:
About Apple threat notifications and protecting against mercenary spyware - Apple Support
Details of the Apple support forums gamification seem unrelated to the central security issues you’re reporting here, too.
You are probably looking at carrier offload Wi-Fi networks, which are one or more Wi-Fi networks associated with your cellular carrier, and are used to move data from cellular to Wi-Fi. While these networks will show as some number of managed networks, these do not have an associated profile, and are not an indication that the iPhone is being managed.

Thank you for this info; I will check this and hopefully be able to delete a profile. Also, would you know why this Apple community support forum would show me notices that I’ve “reached my vote limit for today”, but it’s been saying this for 3 days now?
To those who responded, thank you, I would hit the vote up or like button, but I’m unable to do so.

Try logging out and logging back in and/or deleting cookies. Try a different browser.

Voting limits are proportional to your points and service, to prevent one person creating two accounts and having a vote fest to gain undeserved points. New and low service accounts have strict posting and voting limits
Some bad folk spoilt it for the majority.
Asking in Apple forums is what I’m left with, since all reporting agencies, handling advanced persistent cyber attacks have not been able to help me, yet.
You assume much, just bc I didn’t give the 2 + years of all my cyber attack/identity theft, bank fraud, govt fraud, and multiple other cybercrimes committed against me, you assumed I didn’t know anything. You shouldn’t assume. I’ve had to learn about cyber hacking & coding & software & I don’t know everything, which is why I ask questions.
I’ve read these forums, searching for cases like mine for years; oddly the 8 users that had similar posts like mine, as of Jan 2025, are missing now. Apple is at fault for one unpatched bug. The health app, has an embedded bios file that steals user data & doesn’t allow factory resets for the device; only allows backups from the date of corrupted software. Apple Genius Bar has tried 5 times to “figure it out” & failed each time, blaming new update, or beta OS version, or whatever they can come up with, to pass me off. Apple support won’t allow contact to developers (another fail) when my analytics show rootkits installed, software downgraded, etc. Apple support says they require 100s of reports before handing off to developers (bad idea). The hackers put new code on my phone and disallow Apple to view analytics even though the “button” is on to share.
You may be the top honcho of the forums, but you’d be wise to consider that not every user “just needs to update a password” or call some company that you recommend (if you read the link to cyber support company that you replied with, you’ll see that they do NOT help individuals undergoing attacks; they ONLY help businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations involved in social justice; which is exactly what I already knew).
These hackers cost me over 20k in devices plus $15k trying to get rid of them .I have NO secure devices (have gone through 7 cell carriers, all new phones, sims, numbers, accounts, nothing stored on new phone, everything new, pay via cash w/ an alias name, at alias location, but once device is within my real geolocation, hacker takes over & yes, he uses a 50k stingray to capture device data. That along with however long he socially engineered me, 8 months before his first attempt at spoofing my bank out of 20k in wires, probably after my leaked identity from breaches was sold to him, and yes, I am the 1% of normal people who is a victim of the most severe advanced persistent cyberattacks that anyone has seen. Most attempts to report my identity theft & cybercrimes don’t always work because I never know if my VOip is connecting to real agencies or if I’m speaking with a hacker. We’re not talking “Nigerian prince scam here”. Don’t think it can’t happen to you, bc it can. Two years ago, it was ‘supposedly’ impossible to hack into companies short texts used to send OTC’s, but now it’s possible & companies are no longer using that as verification (it was possible 2 years ago, bc I got them). AI helps hackers make logos for Apple, FB Google, to look exactly like the real logo (blue check and all). You will one day be hacked via one of these KNOWN, but not patched cyber security vulnerabilities.
I have found some ways around the cyberattacks Ive been though & now I took the time to again write about some of the hacks, so you had more info.
Although no agency has put effort into stopping this high level attack yet, I have to find ways to try to protect myself bc its real, and yes, the police have confirmed I’m the 1%, but thered tape and lack of a cybercrime unit, leaves me here, searching for answers.
Since hacker has my address & is in my county & I have screenshots of him logging into my accounts, and can see him remotely controlling my devices, I’m 100% positive of cyberattacks, but screenshots are useless until/unless a cyber forensics team will dig through all my hacked devices & 7,000 screenshots of hacking activity on my devices. I’ve learned that Hackers are able to remote in to any of my devices that use cellular or radio frequency; from there hacker cloaks his Mac id as one of mine, injects malicious software onto cell phone via fake cell towers and snoops for my home network, again injecting malware, which spreads like spider webs.
I’ve run into many “Professional network managers” who doubt the severity of my being hacked. They think a firewall with Mac filtering & sandboxing & a few other changes to router will catch him…ha, I gave it a try, didn’t work. Now IT guys hacked, since he was 99% sure it was safe for him to log onto my WiFi. Whoops! Any other advice?
Thank you for the reply. I tried both, but same message as yesterday.
