Many organizations use Microsoft Intune Company Portal to manage and secure employees' work devices. While this tool offers seamless access to company resources, it also enforces IT policies, which may limit certain functionalities on your iPhone. If you no longer need it or have left your organization, you may want to remove Company Portal from iPhone to regain full control over your device.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to properly remove Company Portal from your iPhone with or without the password.
Microsoft Intune Company Portal is an app that allows organizations to manage and secure employee devices using Microsoft Intune, a cloud-based mobile device management (MDM) service. When you install the Company Portal app on your iPhone, your company can:
While Intune Company Portal is beneficial for securing corporate data and providing access to work resources, it also gives your employer control over certain aspects of your device. If you no longer need this access, follow the steps below to remove Company Portal from iPhone completely.
There are several reasons why you might want to remove Company Portal from iPhone:
Leaving the Organization – If you’re switching jobs or no longer require company access, removing Company Portal ensures your device is no longer managed by your employer.
Restoring Full Control – IT administrators often impose restrictions through Company Portal, limiting app installations, device settings, or remote wipe capabilities.
Freeing Up Storage – If you no longer use Company Portal, uninstalling it helps free up storage space on your iPhone.
Personal Device Usage – If you installed Company Portal on your personal iPhone but no longer need it, removing it will restore your device's original settings.
Now, let’s go through the proper steps to completely remove Company Portal from your iPhone.
Before deleting the app, it's important to unenroll your iPhone to avoid issues with device management. Follow these steps:
1. Open the Company Portal app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Devices from the bottom and select your iPhone from the list.
3. Tap Remove Device or Unenroll Device (depending on your organization’s settings).
4. Confirm your choice when prompted.
5. Once your device is successfully unenrolled, you can proceed to delete the app.
After unenrolling, you can remove the Company Portal app like any other iPhone app:
1. Press and hold the Company Portal app icon on your home screen.
2. Tap Remove App from the options that appear.
3. Select Delete App, then confirm by tapping Delete again.
This removes the application, but some management settings may still remain on your device. To completely restore your iPhone, continue to the next step.
Even after deleting Company Portal, your iPhone may still be managed by your organization. To fully remove Company Portal from iPhone, you must delete the associated MDM (Mobile Device Management) profile:
1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Go to General > VPN & Device Management (or Profiles & Device Management in older iOS versions).
3. Locate the Management Profile associated with your company.
4. Tap the profile and select Remove Management.
5. Enter your device passcode (if required) and confirm the removal.
After removing the management profile, it’s a good idea to restart your iPhone to ensure all changes take effect:
1. Press and hold the power button and volume up button (or the side button on older models) until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to power off your iPhone.
3. Wait a few seconds, then press the power button again to turn your iPhone back on.
Your iPhone should now be completely free from Company Portal and any management restrictions.
If you do not have the Intune Company Portal app on your iPhone, you can sign into Company Portable website to unenroll your iPhone from Company Portal.
Step 1: Open a browser and sign into your account in Company Portal website.
Step 2: Hit the Devices button and choose your iPhone from the list.
Step 3: Click the Remove button and confirm it. After that, your iPhone can get rid of company supervision soon. It is recommended to restart your iPhone after the process ends.

1. Can I reinstall Company Portal after removing it?
Yes, you can reinstall Company Portal from the App Store anytime. However, you may need to re-enroll your device with your organization to regain access to company resources.
2. What happens if I remove the management profile without unenrolling first?
If you delete the MDM profile without unenrolling, your organization might still have access to certain settings or remote management capabilities. It’s best to first unenroll using the Company Portal app before removing the management profile.
3. Will removing Company Portal erase my data?
No, deleting Company Portal and its management profile does not erase personal data like photos, messages, or apps. However, it will remove any work-related apps, configurations, and email accounts set up by your organization.
4. I don't see the Device Management option in settings. What should I do?
If you don’t see VPN & Device Management under General Settings, your iPhone may not be enrolled in an MDM program, or your company’s profile has already been removed.
5. Can my company still track my iPhone after removing Company Portal?
No, once you remove the Company Portal app and its MDM profile, your organization no longer has any control or tracking access to your iPhone.
If you no longer need access to your organization's resources or want to regain full control over your device, it is essential to remove Company Portal from iPhone. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can successfully remove all traces of Company Portal and regain full control of the iPhone.
