Installing iOS updates on the device

When MaaS360 sends the iOS update command, the device automatically downloads the software update and prompts the user to install the update.

After the download is completed, the user is prompted to start the installation immediately or defer the software update.

When MaaS360 sends an enforce OS version command, the device automatically downloads the software update and prompts the user to install the update within the specified time limit. The user can either start the installation immediately or defer it until the specified time limit. After this time limit, the software update is enforced, and the device automatically begins the installation process.

Note:
  • The software update action is taken at each device's local time. This occurs when all the criteria for update are met such as the device is in an unlocked state, the device receives network connectivity, and meets other criteria.
  • If the device has a passcode, the user must unlock the device to allow installation of the software update.
