About

Managed Device Control

Features
Read full description

Managed Device Control helps organizations manage a single enrolled iPhone or iPad using Mobile Device Management configuration and Apple Screen Time controls. The app receives Managed App Configuration from an organization’s MDM provider and displays the active organization, device label, support contact, and managed status. After Screen Time permission is granted, selected apps, app categories, or websites can be restricted locally on the device and cleared when needed. Managed Device Control is designed for organization-managed device workflows where MDM configuration and reversible Screen Time controls are required.
