Supervised Mode
In Supervised Mode, DriveStrike can manage apps on iOS and macOS.
An iPhone reports a richer location when it was supervised before the DriveStrike iOS profile was installed. Otherwise the iPhone reports its IP address. With supervision already in place, Lost Mode can return the location. The limits are on track devices.
User Managed Mode
- Locate
- Lock
- Wipe an iPhone or iPad, or wipe a Mac
- Encrypt and decrypt
On the roadmap
Managing security settings on Apple devices is on the roadmap. Do not describe that control as available today.
Enrollment is documented on Apple device enrollment and on the MDM page. Mac location is an IP address once a day. DriveStrike does not currently capture GPS on MacBooks.
