Are you the one who is obsessed with iPhone MDM restrictions? Sometimes, organizations and businesses may use MDM, which is a useful feature for the administrator to control devices remotely.

In this guide, we'll show you what is MDM and how to remove MDM from iPhone in detail.

Part 1: What is MDM on iPhone

Introduced by Apple several years ago, Mobile Device Management (MDM) allows the system administrator to control the devices remotely by sending commands from a central server to the iOS devices on the network. The administrator configures an MDM profile in the devices to control the device, and imposes various restrictions on the user, including USB connection, file sharing, cellular data, etc.

Once the profile is set, it's difficult for the users who do not know the login name and password to remove MDM from iPhone. In this case, users may require a useful tool to help them to bypass the MDM.

Part 3: More Relevant Questions About MDM

Q1: What are the main restrictions of MDM?

There are three main restrictions, including app restrictions, connection restrictions and privacy restrictions. With app restrictions, you cannot download or delete the applications yourself. The connection restrictions stop you from connecting the devices to your PC, and the privacy restrictions restrict file sharing and the use of iCloud photos on your device.

Q2: Will a factory reset delete MDM?

No. You cannot bypass Mobile Device Management (MDM) by performing a factory reset. It only works when there's a command performed by the administrator who set up the device. The control of MDM remains intact and is retained as part of the device's initial setup.

Q3: Does Jailbreak Remove MDM?

Jailbreaking can assist you in removing MDM on your iPhone. But compared to the methods above, this method is more complex with risks. After jailbreaking, your iPhone may encounter such risks as getting bricked, having malware issues, losing the product warranty, etc. If you really want to jailbreak your iPhone, you can try the steps below.

Step 1. Install and run Filza on your iPhone.
Step 2. Then, you need to navigate to: /var/containers/Shared/systemgroup.com.apple.configurationprofiles/Library/ConfigurationProfiles/
Step 3. Next, open Text Editor and delete MDM files. The MDM restrictions on your iPhone will be removed.
