Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my phone is supervised?

If you buy a used iPad, knowing whether the device is monitored through MDM is essential. Often, people unknowingly purchase devices that have MDM profiles, which can lead to issues later on. Always ask the seller if the device has an MDM profile to avoid this.

However, if you already have the device, go to Settings > General > About. If your device is monitored, you will receive a response and can also view the administrator’s name in charge of the system. Some administrators even show an ownership message on the lock screen.

Opening Settings > General > About

How do I turn off Apple Remote management?

If you want to turn off Apple remote management, head to the client’s computer & click on Apple menu > System Preferences > Sharing. From there, enter the login credentials of an administrator and click the lock icon if present. Now deselect the Remote Management checkbox.

Can you permanently remove remote management from iPad?

Yes, you can permanently remove remote management from your iPad. But you need the MDM profile password if you want to do it from your settings.

If you don’t have the password, then AnyUnlock can also help you to remove local device management from your iPad.
