The message displayed at the top of the page on iPhone/iPad Settings, saying "This iPhone/iPad is supervised and managed by xx. Learn more about device supervision..." can be quite bothersome. This means this device is being supervised by an organization or business that has the ability to install a profile to control what features your device has access to, i.e., your device has been controlled by Mobile Device Management (MDM).

Attempting to get rid of MDM but there is no option to remove MDM profile? This article will show you three ways to fix no option to remove MDM profile on iPhone/iPad.

Part 1: Why There Is No Option to Remove Device Management on iPhone/iPad?

There are two reasons why there is no option to remove MDM from iPhone or iPad.

For the first thing, it is expected that the option to remove the MDM Profile might not be available directly from the device's settings, which means the supervisor sets the option to invisible. In a supervised device, the MDM profile is installed with certain restrictions and configurations that cannot be easily removed by the device user.

For another, as a part of the iCloud backup, the MDM Profile is not located in the local storage unless you restore your device from the iCloud backup including the MDM Profile.

Part 2: How do I Remove MDM from My Device?

Way 1: Contact the Administrator to Remove MDM

Seeking help from the supervisor is the most direct way to fix no option to remove MDM Profile. It is viable to reach out to your organization's IT department or the administrator responsible for managing the MDM Profile. They will be able to provide you with further information, assistance, and guidance on the available options for your specific situation, as they have the necessary permissions and tools to manage the device's supervision status.

Part 3: Can A Factory Reset Remove the MDM Profile?

No, it can't. When a device is enrolled in an MDM program, the profile is installed at a system level, making it resistant to simple factory reset operations. Removing an MDM profile usually requires specific procedures provided by the organization or MDM administrator, involving contacting the administrator, providing necessary credentials, or going through a specific MDM profile removal process.
