Managed account not authorized and want it turned off.

My phone is account managed and I want to get it taken off because I have not authorized it. This is not a school/work phone it’s my personal phone. How do I get it off or out of being managed

iPhone 13, iOS 26

An educated guess at this point. On your iPhone......


Tap Settings

Tap Wi-Fi

Tap Edit in the upper right corner

Scroll down to the bottom of the list to see if there is a listing under Managed Networks


If there is, this "network" was installed by your carrier, so you can access free Wi-Fi at various locations when you are out and about. This has nothing to do with controlling or managing your phone, it is simply a service provided by your carrier.


If you are using AT&T, the name of network might be "AT&T Wi-Fi Passport" or "attwifi"

If you are referring to the Managed Wifi networks like suggested by Servant of Cats, that has nothing to do with your Apple Account being managed or even your device being managed. I don't know of any Cellular Provider that does not have at least 1 managed wifi network. If you have T-Mobile, you will see 2 and one is called TmobileWingman that allows free WiFi access on airlines such as Alaska Air.


Without any more information, all we can do is guess what you are referring to.
