I’ve enrolled Android devices using Android Enterprise work profile before, but I’m trying to do the same thing for iOS. Is there an iOS equivalent of work profile in Hexnode? I want personal data and corporate apps/data to stay separate on a personally owned iPhone.

Hi @maevee,

iOS does not have a separate Android Enterprise-style Work Profile mode. For personally owned iOS devices, Apple provides work and personal data separation through Apple User Enrollment.

With User Enrollment, corporate apps, accounts, and managed data are handled separately from the user’s personal data. The user must authenticate with a Managed Apple Account during enrollment.

A typical flow is:

  1. Configure Apple User Enrollment requirements for your organization.
  2. Ensure the user has a Managed Apple Account.
  3. Send the enrollment invitation or provide the enrollment URL/QR code.
  4. On the iPhone, open the enrollment link in Safari.
  5. When prompted for ownership, select Personal.
  6. Choose the option to manage only work-related apps and data.
  7. Authenticate with the Managed Apple Account.
  8. Install the downloaded management profile from Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.

Once completed, Hexnode can manage the work-related apps and data supported under Apple User Enrollment.
