I would like to delete a trusted certificate.

I was prompted "do you trust google.com certificate". I selected yes (SMH) and have been having major issues on my phone ever since.


Getting constant pop up of "cannot verify server identity The identity of "google.com" cannot be verified.

I select details button and IOS Self Signed... not trusted pop up box displays.


I walked through the steps that were recommended above and did Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings and there is NO "enable full trust for root certificates" option. I cannot turn OFF anything.

Alternate solution provided above was to contact the organization responsible for managing your device. Well, I'm the organization and managing my own device.


How do I delete this IOS Self Signed google.com certificate?


I have looked everywhere on internet and any reference shows me "trusted" certificates but no documentation on HOW TO DELETE a certificate.


Recommendations would be appreciated.

Hello Malik8786,


The ability to manage the certificate trust will depend on how it was installed. If the certificate you're referring to was installed manually (not by MDM) then you can manage the certificate trust under  Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings. Under  "Enable full trust for root certificates," turn off trust for the certificate.


Trust manually installed certificate profiles in iOS and iPadOS


If you're unable to manage these settings on your device, we recommend contacting the organization responsible for managing your device.


Regards.
