How to Remove “This iPhone Is Supervised by Another Computer”

What Does “This iPhone Is Supervised”Mean?

If you see “This iPhone is supervised by another computer”on your screen, your device is under remote management by an organization, such as your employer, school, or a business. This is not an error, but a status indicating that an administrator has applied specific policies to your iPhone.

This supervision is enforced through a Device Management Profile. To regain full personal control, you need to remove this profile. Your ability to do so depends on whether you have the necessary authorization or password.

🔍How to Check

Go to Settings > General > About. If your iPhone is supervised, you will see the explicit message there. The supervision is tied to a Management Profile, which you can find under Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.

Method 1. Remove the Supervision Profile via Settings (With Password)

This is the standard and simplest method if the supervising organization provided you with the management password upon your departure or purchase of the device.

Step 1. Unlock your iPhone and open the Settings app.

Step 2. Navigate to General > VPN & Device Management. If a supervision profile is installed, you will see it listed here.

Step 3. Tap on the Management Profile>Remove Management or Delete Profile at the bottom.

Step 4. You will be prompted to enter the management password. Enter the password provided by the organization.

Step 5. Once confirmed, the profile and all supervision restrictions will be removed. Your iPhone will restart and return to a standard, personal state.
