App Notifications
Using Mobile Device Manager Plus, admins can configure App Notifications profile for specific apps. This policy allows you to control how and where the notifications appear on the device's home screen. You can prevent users from modifying the configured settings. This policy is applicable for Supervised devices running iOS/iPadOS 9.3 or later versions. To learn more about App Notification settings, click here.
Advantages of App Notifications
App Notifications can generally be used in the following scenarios:
- To prevent users from disabling important notifications from business applications.
- To hide sensitive information from displaying on the lock screen when the device is locked.
- It is helpful in cases where you want to restrict notifications from apps when a device is provisioned in Kiosk mode.
- To mandate certain app notifications to ensure users read important organizational messages.
