We are having some 100-150 iOS devices in our organization and we would like to defer the system updates from Apple till we are sure we can make the transition. We saw that OS updates can be delayed using Hexnode but I would like to know what exactly happens when you apply the settings like for 30 days, does it get installed automatically after that?
Hi @Alfred-Hudsey, thank you for posting on our forum.
Yes, you can delay OS updates for iOS by setting a policy from Hexnode.
You can set a delay duration between 1 day to 90 days here and you’ll be receiving an update prompt only after the set interval has passed i.e., if you set 30 days as the delay period then on the 31st day you’ll be offered the update as part of the standard software update notifications and update process. Till this time period expires, the Software Update page under Settings > General on your end-device will show a text saying, your device is running the latest software update allowed by your administrator.
Please note that this feature works only for Supervised iOS devices having iOS 11.3+.
Hope I was able to help.
Cheers!
