There is no such thing as an unauthorized MDM. To install MDM, you either

  1. Must purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller and have it added to Apple Business/School Manager and have an MDM connected for automated device enrollment
  2. Someone must have physical access to your device and must have your passcode/password.
  3. Someone must have physical access to your device, your iCloud password (assuming you've set that up), and be in a trusted location (or wait for an hour, again, assuming you set iCloud up), then they have to wipe your device and add it to Apple Business/School Manager manually.

Option 1 cannot be removed by you because you don't own the device.

Option 2 can be removed in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.

Option 3 can also be removed in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management if it has been less than 30 days since the device was enrolled. You would likely notice if this one was the case as again, at a minimum, it requires the device to be wiped.


These are the only options.

None of those are symptoms of being "hacked".


and uses a scrambler if I try recording him in my own house.

What does this even mean?

What do you mean the "always go missing"?

If you suspect your neighbor is entering your home without permission, contact the police.
