Added information about the removal of location features, location-based Device Rules, and motion-based Device Rules for iOS and iPadOS devices.

Supervising Device List Enhancement for Jamf School

When pairing a parent device with a child device, users are now prompted to enter a parent device name after scanning the QR code on the child's device. The configured name will display on the supervising devices list and will apply to all subsequent child device pairings. If all child devices are unpaired from the parent device, users will be prompted to enter a parent device name again when a new child device is paired.

Resolved Issues

  • When a child device and parent device are unpaired in Jamf School, the child device no longer displays in Jamf Parent.

  • For users using the Jamf Pro integration, unpairing a child device from a parent device now works correctly.

Deprecations and Removals

The following features have been removed for iOS and iPadOS devices in this release:

  • Location history

  • Last reported location

  • Setting locations

  • Location-based Device Rules
    Note:

    Existing location-based Device Rules will continue working for a limited amount of time. If a user edits an existing location-based Device Rule, it will be re-saved as a day & time-based Device Rule and will no longer use the configured locations.

  • Motion-based Device Rules
    Note:

    Existing motion-based Device Rules will continue working for a limited amount of time. If a user edits an existing motion-based Device Rule, it will be re-saved as a day & time-based Device Rule and will no longer use the configured motions.
