This guide applies to iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS devices
Upcoming Update Notifications
Once Iru Endpoint has cached an update on your device, you’ll see a red notification badge on the Settings app indicating that an update is available. You’ll also see a message at the top of the Settings app: If you tap on that message (or navigate to Settings > General > Software Update), you’ll be able to proceed with the update before the enforcement deadline:Update Experience
Once the enforcement deadline is reached, your experience will vary depending on whether a passcode exists on the device:- Since tvOS does not support passcodes, the update will be installed immediately, and the Apple TV will reboot.
- iOS and iPadOS devices that do not have a passcode will behave the same way as tvOS.
Once devices without a passcode reach their enforcement deadline, the device will restart without warning and begin the update process.
Unique Update Prompts for Passcode-Protected Devices
iOS and iPadOS devices that are protected with a passcode require that you enter your passcode to authorize any operating system update. At the Lock Screen, you’ll see a notification: Once at the Home Screen, you’ll first see a Software Update prompt giving you the ability to start the update immediately or later: If you choose to proceed with the update, you’ll be prompted for your passcode and the update will be installed right away. If you instead tap Later, you’ll be asked to enter your passcode to authorize the update to happen overnight. At the bottom of that screen is a Remind Me Later option to further defer the update: You’re allowed to defer the update just three times. After a third deferral, you’ll be forced to update your device before continuing to use it:This three-deferral limit for MDM-initiated updates is new in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 and later and is enforced across a device restart. Previous versions did not limit the number of deferrals.
