Released: May 5, 2026

We've expanded our Security Compliance policy templates with full support for Android and iOS/iPadOS devices, giving admins more granular control over device policy configuration.

What's New

Android Policy Templates
You can now select "Android Only" as a target OS when creating Security Compliance policies. Four new Android-specific policies are available:

• Android Software Update Policy — enforce software update requirements on Android devices

• Android Security Policy — manage hard disk encryption and security settings

• Android Lock Screen Policy — configure screensaver lock requirements

• Android Password Policy — set password complexity and rotation rules

The "Android Only" option is available across all four Security Compliance categories: Automated security patches, Screensaver lock, Hard disk encryption, and Password.

iOS/iPadOS Policy Templates
iOS and iPadOS are now supported alongside macOS through a combined "Mac OS / iOS / iPadOS only" OS selection option. Two policies cover these platforms:

• Software Update Policy — enforce automated security patches across Apple devices

• Password Policy — manage password requirements for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS

Note: macOS, iOS, and iPadOS share unified policies, so they are combined under a single selection option.

What Changed

• The "Select OS" dropdown in policy creation now includes "Android Only" for all Security Compliance categories.

• For templates that support iOS/iPadOS (Automated security patches, Password), the former "Mac OS only" option has been updated to "Mac OS / iOS / iPadOS only".

• Templates that don't support iOS/iPadOS (Screensaver lock, Hard disk encryption) retain the original "Mac OS only" label.

• Selecting a specific OS now correctly filters the Basic Configurations screen to show only the relevant policies for that platform.
