Check your iPhone

Step 1 of 6

This takes about 5 minutes. iPhones do not let apps see or control other apps, so the main things to check are device management profiles, your Apple Account and app permissions.

Your answers stay on this page only. They are not saved or sent anywhere, so refreshing the page starts the check again.

Is there a profile you do not recognise?

A device management profile lets an organisation manage your iPhone. Your school or employer may have added one. If not, it should not be there.

Open Settings > General.
Scroll down and tap "VPN & Device Management". If you do not see it, there are no profiles; choose "No".
Look under "Configuration Profile" or "Mobile Device Management".

Is there a profile you do not recognise?
