How do you monitor and delete untrusted certificates and can you get notified when one is put on your device or devices?

I have had some problems with malware on my device and logins from devices I don’t have. Is there anyway to monitor and delete or a warning system that tells you when someone puts unsafe certificates or malware on your device thru notes or calandra or any of the other apps?

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Contact your IT administrator or MDM provider to obtain the latest MDM profile.

    2. Or please contact the system administrator of the organisation who provided the profile to you

If you feel an unauthorized person/app is remotely using, controlling or monitoring your device, then that is possible only if you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.


If one of the above is true then quickly change the Apple ID Password and Return iPhone settings to their defaults.
