Remove ActiveArmor from IOS

ActiveArmor is currently blocking important calls.  I would like to completely remove from my iPhone but can't find a way to do it anywhere.  I understand that just deleting the app doesn't work.  Please help.

Hello @OKengineer, we are here to help you with removing ActiveArmor.

Deactivate ActiveArmor and remove the service

  1. Go to Settings in ActiveArmor mobile security.
  2. Tap Account and choose Remove Service.
  3. Choose one of the following:
    • On your iPhone - confirm that you want to remove AT&T ActiveArmor mobile security.
    • On an Android phone - select AT&T ActiveArmor mobile security.
  4. Tap Remove to finish up.

Uninstall the app

Just uninstalling the ActiveArmor mobile security app doesn’t remove the service from your account. It also won’t stop network-based fraud blocking or billing for AT&T ActiveArmor advanced mobile security. You must complete all steps to stop billing and remove the service.
  1. Use myAT&T or your app store to downgrade from ActiveArmor advanced and remove the subscription from your account.
  2. Deactivate ActiveArmor and remove the service.
  3. Uninstall the app from your device.

Review our article on more info on how to Remove the AT&T ActiveArmor Mobile Security App.

 

Let us know if this helps!

Unfortunately, this doesn't help.  In the ActiveArmor app I don't see an "Account" option under Settings.  I only see "Profile", "Subscription", "Get Help", "Send Apps...".  If I click through on "Subscription" it just tells me to visit myAT&T or call 611 to manage my service or to opt-out of this feature which leads to further dead ends.

It is under Subscription. There you can remove your subscription.

As I stated, no links exist if I click through on Subscription.  It just tells me to visit myAT&T or call 611 to “manage your service” which again just leads to more dead ends.

(Edited per community guidelines), just reading through this thread further frustrates me. I’m trying to do the same exact thing and I can’t figure it out.

Called AT&T and spoke to several different agents and no one can figure it out either. Did you ever fix this issue?

I actually never fixed the issue. I managed to change the settings to allow everything through so I wouldn’t miss calls. I had contractors working on my house whose calls to me were getting blocked. ActiveArmor still lurks somewhere on my phone like an unwanted parasite.

If you don’t mind me asking. What things did you change to allow calls again?

My current settings under “calls” are below. I just kept asking the guy getting blocked to call me every time I fiddled with the settings. It was quite embarrassing.
