Profile management on the iPhone
Today we bring you some of our tutorials for iPhone and iPad, which we recommend you check out for your own good. We should always be aware of how we have privacy configured on our device and also in our apps. It is something that guarantees us to have our information safe and avoid sharing it with companies, people with whom we do not want to share it.
Configuration profiles are very useful as long as they are installed with knowledge of the source from which they came.They establish the settings to use the iPhone in networks or with company or educational center accounts. You may be asked to install a configuration profile that has been sent to you by email or that you downloaded from a web page. You will be asked for permission to install the profile, and information about its content will be displayed when you open the file.
Yes, we must be very careful if we detect that we have profiles installed without permission. For this we are going to explain where to check if you have one installed or not.
Where to see if I have profiles installed on the iPhone and iPad:
To check if you have any third-party profile installed, we must go to the following path: Settings/General/Profile .
If when accessing that path we don't see the "Profile" option, it's because we don't have any installed. If it appears, it will appear to us like this. We can see it under the VPN option. In our case it says "Profiles" because we have more than one installed.
Third-party profiles installed on the iPhone
The first thing you have to check is its origin. It's something VERY IMPORTANT For example, it may be that you have a company mobile phone and that it has installed a profile that you need to work. We say this to make you aware that not all profiles are bad Some are very necessary to be able to use some apps or for the device to function itself.
For example, we, when testing many apps in BETA, have to install profiles generated by the developers of the apps, in order to use them before they are released on the App Store. It is essential to install these profiles to be able to use them.
If you have a profile installed and, after your checks, you didn't know you had it or don't remember when or why you installed it, it's better to remove it.They can be a source of iPhone and iPad malfunctions, and also a source of private information for the company or person who created it.
To delete it, simply access it and click on the "Delete profile" option.
Delete Profile
In this way we will eliminate a third-party profile that we did not know we had and we will improve, above all, our privacy in the system.
Greetings.
