When you download a configuration profile from a website or an email message in iOS or iPadOS, you must go to the Settings app to install it.
* If a profile is not installed within 8 minutes of downloading it, it is automatically deleted.
Install a profile
After you download a profile, you’ll see “Profile Downloaded”. To install the profile, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Profile Downloaded.
*In the Settings app, the "Profile Downloaded" button is below the account details.

*You can have only one profile ready to install at a time. For example, if you download a profile and don't install it, and then download a second profile, only the second profile is available to be installed.
