Part 1. Why Is There No Option to Remove MDM Profile?

The option to remove an MDM profile on an iPad or iPhone might not be available for several reasons, primarily centered around security and the control that organizations need over the devices they manage. Here are a few reasons why the option to remove the MDM profile might not be accessible on the iPhone or iPad.

Reason 1. Non-removable MDM Profile

How you remove profiles depends on how they were installed. The profile installed by Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager, or a third-party MDM solution is non-removable. Hence, there is no option to remove device management.

• If the profile is installed by a third-party MDM solution, the user can remove the profile by that specific MDM solution or by unenrolling device from MDM on the configuration platform.

  Example: "I have a MaaS360 MDM profile on my iPhone 11. In the MaaS360 profile on my device's Settings, there is no option to delete or remove."

• If the device was enrolled in MDM using Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager, the administrator can choose that the profile can be removed only by the MDM server itself.

  Example: "I'm trying to remove my MDM from my son's iPad. I had it through my business. I have released it in Apple Business Manager but it doesn't give the 'Remove MDM' option."

Reason 2. iCloud Backup Syncing Issue

A configuration profile is embedded into iCloud when turning on iCloud Sync on the supervised device. If you reset your supervised device to delete the profile and restore your data from iCloud backup on the setup screen, then the MDM profile will come back.

Reason 3. Poor Network or Unstable Server

Third-party MDM communication with Apple devices is most likely to be successful when the network the device is connected to has access to the internet and MDM-related Apple hosts. In addition, the server of a third-party MDM is stable.
