Hi, we’re having a problem on iOS devices where AirDrop functionality is not working properly when an Allowlist policy is applied. I can hear the pinging sound, but the prompt to accept the transfer never appears on the receiving device. Has anyone else run into this issue or found a workaround?

What's in iOS 26 for the enterprise admin?

So, the Apple event was packed this time. New devices, new software, and did anyone else also feel that AirPods stole the show? New designs, better noise cancellation, even a heart rate sensor.

Select Devices within Group

I have a lot of iPads, and need to group them according to the location they are deployed. Management within the group selection is limited, and cannot select individual devices within the group. More management abilities should be available from the group instead of limiting them all to the general screen which is a mess.
