Hey team, one quick question. Is there a way to automatically push and enforce OS updates to our iPhones?

I tried to figure that once, from what I found there is a policy regarding OS updates but that will just delay the update on the device. So I don’t think there’s a way.

Oh okay, but what about the remote action? I remember seeing an action called update OSCan I use that?

Doesn’t it just for downloading and installing the updates? I don’t think it will enforce OS updates.

Hello @sutton , 

Unfortunately, the capability to completely force or automatically push iOS system updates is not currently available in Hexnode UEM. 

We will make sure to update this thread as soon as a feature regarding this becomes available.  

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further queries or feedback.
