Schedule iOS Update

Applicable to:

  • iOS 9.0+ Supervised Device Enrollment devices
  • iOS 10.3+ Supervised devices.

Schedule an iOS device to update to the latest iOS version available to it. The Device > Actions menu option Update OS Version for Supervised iOS devices displays a list of only those iOS versions which are applicable to the device.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the device in the Devices page.
  2. Click the device name to display the Device details page.
  3. From the Actions menu, click Update OS Version.
  4. On the Update OS Version wizard, review the iOS version and select the OS version from the Update to version drop-down list.

    If you enter an equal or older version, an error message appears indicating that the target iOS version should be greater than the current version.

  5. Click Update.

The iOS device will be scheduled to update to the latest iOS version available to it when the device checks in. If the device has a passcode, after MDM sends the update to the device, the device queues the update and the user is prompted to enter their passcode in order to start the installation.
