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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I want to download app and i cannot download it beacuse i need device managment.I downloaded profile but i still don-t have it HELPPP

Sorry for bad English

Where is this profile coming from? You should ask whoever is providing the profile for assistance. If it's your employer, contact the IT department. If someone you don't know and don't have a trust relationship with is offering to give you an app in exchange or putting a profile on your phone, don't.

If you go to Settings/General and scroll down, and you don't see Device Management, you don't have any device management profiles on your phone. Do the same thing and look for Profiles. If that isn't present either you have no profiles of any kind on your phone.

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 :-(

Apparently you don't get it because that has all been explained in this thread. You also don't seem to get that asking people why can be very important. It turned out a couple of people wanted to use a profile to sideload apps, probably infringing upon copyrights and possibly compromising their devices. And, you don't seem to get that it's perfectly legitimate to tell someone to ask their IT department if a profile is required and if so, how to install it. At my previous employer, you had to install the profile before installing the apps. You had to get the profile link from IT. And, apparently you don't get that waltzing it and criticizing other people who volunteer their time to help, claiming they didn't provide answers, then repeating the answers they gave is what we here call rude.

Best of luck.
