Where is Device Management on iPhone

You'll only see Device Management in Settings>General if you have something installed. If you changed phones, even if you set it up from a back up, for security reasons, you'll probably have to re-install the profiles from the source.

Hi. Profiles and Device Management are near the bottom of Settings > General. They do not appear unless you have a profile or your device is being managed.

Chào. Tiểu sử và Quản lý thiết bị gần cuối Cài đặt> Chung. Chúng không xuất hiện trừ khi bạn có một hồ sơ hoặc thiết bị của bạn đang được quản lý.

That usually means you don't have a profile installed. The setting won't be there if you don't need it.

Sorry - but why all those answers are so frustrated? :

Re: "You don't have it because you don't have profile".

How to install profile?

Re: "Ask someone?"

.. Jeysus!!

I had the same problem - I start reading official apple responses, then this thread - guys I'm not native english but, I will say:

1) Initially you don't have it, as most people don't need it

2) This option should appear if you want to install app from third party server - not from official apple store

3) Mostly, it is used by companies to install their enterprise/business apps on employee phone (hopefully, if employee agree)... and in that case you have 2 options:

- 1: click on your app, click download and wait for XX minutes ( that works for me, finally when I stop reading this thread and double check - OMG - it appears!)

- 2: if step 1 do not work - contact your employer IT team - there is configuration involved on their side - which probably doesn't work/exist?

4) If it is not your employer app - I'm sorry, it is 100% depended on the app that you try to install: try re-check point 3; search for some info from that app users / maybe separate forum?

Or ... maybe I don't get this at all and here we are to just troll each ones??? - if that so - sincerely apologise for breaking that rule :-(

How do i do that? I need it for a job as well.

If your employer has a profile they need you to install, they will need to tell you were to access it. Ask your IT department.

Device Management will only appear if you have a security profile installed by your MS Exchange administrator or if you are officially registered as a beta tester.

If it isn't in Settings/General, below VPN, that means that you do not have any device management profiles on your phone. Do you have Profiles under Settings/General?

I had this problem twice before (solved it but needed a refresher.) Was trying to install an app I'm writing, on my girlfriend's older iPhone (wasn’t seeing Device Management in her settings.)

(Using iOS 10.3, Xcode 9.1 beta).
Solution:

She needed to register for Developer (free); then I plugged her phone into my Mac, and in Xcode, selected:

(app name @ top of Navigator pane on the left) / Signing / Team; & selected her AppleID.

Then Device Management showed up in her settings.

(Not sure if many other developers install apps on random other / older devices… but figured I’d share in case!
Simulator ain’t enough!)

The only legitimate reason your phone might need a profile (which is saved in Device Management) is if you need to install a corporate enterprise app. There is absolutely no other reason to need device management. If you want it to install non-Apple approved apps your are extraordinarily foolish. It's easy to write an app that is secure and safe and publish it into the app store. So almost by definition, any app that you cannot get from the App Store is malware that will compromise your security and steal your data and identity.

If your phone does not have Device Management settings you don't have any profiles on your phone, which is a good thing.

It will be either in Settings/General/Device Management or Settings/General/Profiles

Unless you have a very high degree of trust, you should not install a profile. I have one on my phone so that I can install an app from my employer that I use as part of my job. Installing a profile from some random company or individual who says tells you it's a good way to get apps is a very bad idea.

how do I get a profile installed?

Why do you want a profile?

You would get one from an app or feature that requires one and would provide you one to install.

Im having the same problem. But once I get the device management option I'll be able to install apps that are not from the App Store. Just need to get the device management option to show.

I Had the profiles setting in my iPhone 6 using AT&T. But it doesn't show up on my brand new iPhone 6s
