How do i update the apps deployed to mobile devices?

 

Can the apps automatically be updated thru Sophos Central and then automatically to the mobile devices? Must the use with the mobiel update the apps self?

 

When there is a new version of an IOS app we would likedeploy this updates to the devices automatically.

  • Hi  

    As far as I understand you want pre-installed app automatically updated. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be performed through Sophos Mobile. The software only allows the updating of apps in two different circumstances.

    The first way you can get apps automatically updated is through Apple VPP which has been combined now into apple business manager. This setting can be enabled within the settings in Sophos Mobile. Please note the automatic updating of these apps can only occur if the apps have been purchased and installed through Apple VPP.

    The second way you can get apps updated is by sending an install task to the device for the app itself however please note that this will require the user confirmation on the device. This is also not available for apps that are pre-installed on the device. 

    Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
