How to Fix Profiles or Device Management Missing on iOS 10?

Postby Grace Liu » 10 Apr 2017 13:51

When some users followed a tutorial online which instructs them to go to Settings > General > Device Management to trust an app that they recently installed, they may can not find out the device management settings on their iOS 10.

The instructions usually goes something like:
*Installing a modified .IPA file through Cydia Impactor
*Unlock your device, be it an iPhone or iPad
*Find the Profiles or Device Management in the Settings app
*Tap Trust

People get panic when they unable to find either option in the Settings app. It’s time to write a post to address this issue once and for all.

Tap on the Settings app, and it’s on the General page, but  no where else.

If you can’t find one of the two, that means the profile wasn’t installed in the first place.
Unlike other iOS settings, the device management on your iPhone will become visible only if you have a profile installed (in this case the app that you sideloaded using Xcode or Cydia Impactor).
You might want to re-check to see if there was anything wrong that could occur during the installation process. I suggest checking out this post and this one as well.

Other suggestions:
*Restart your iPhone.
*Re-install the app from your computer.
