I’m configuring an iOS policy to defer OS updates for managed devices. Hexnode lets me delay updates, but I’m trying to understand if the deferral period can be set to more than 90 days. Is there any way to extend the iOS update delay beyond that limit?

Hello @gareyy ,

Hexnode supports iOS OS update deferral only up to 90 days. The deferral period cannot be extended beyond 90 days from the Hexnode portal.

This is a restriction enforced by Apple for supervised iOS and iPadOS devices. MDM solutions can configure the update deferral setting, but Apple limits the maximum allowed delay to 90 days.
