Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires. If
you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need might already be
installed. If it’s your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you with the settings for
you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server that installs the settings and
apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in configuration profiles. You might be asked to
install a configuration profile that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from a
webpage. When you open the file, iPhone asks for your permission to install the profile, and displays
information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a configuration profile that sets up an account for you, some iPhone
settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and require you to
set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. If you delete a profile, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the profile are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a profile, contact your
system administrator.
