That will happen if:

  • Your iPhone is under MDM (Mobile Device Management) - such devices are issued by businesses to their employees
  • You have a work or business email account on the iPhone
  • You have a school email account on the iPhone


Are you the original owner of the iPhone, purchased new from Apple or an Apple Authorized retailer?
