was just wondering what a managed configuration is and is it a standard feature on all ipads?
and also on a totally different note, when going through the process of asking a question to the community on this website, the 3rd or 4th step is to "select a topic" and then it offers a few suggestions. why does it always offer me "ipad in business and education" ? sometimes thats the only option to choose from
iPad, iPadOS 17
It offers you that option because that’s the most relevant forum you’ve chosen to post your question in.
A managed configuration is a set of ‘rules/settings’ applied by a (in general) business or educational facility. It maybe applied to your own device or a device given to you. Settings configured usually include Wi-Fi, proxy and printer(s) etc. Some settings will even include which Apps can be used or installed.
Where are you seeing the managed configuration?
Is it a Managed Network in your WiFi settings?
but these are my personal devices bought directly from a retail store, for example tmobile. brand new. and i dont own any company devices and have no association with a university. is this something that coms with my tmobile plan or something, i just have a basic magenta plan? personal plan. i ask because a while back, while update my iphone 13 it seemed like it crashed half way through the update and then seemed to have fixed itself but then it restored itself back to the way it was, then updated again and then seemed to be back to "normal" but it wasnt. in fact after updating, it actualy reverted back to what seemed like 3 or 4 updates agao because all of my text messages and voicemails from months and months ago that i had permanently deleted had been restored. i had never logged in to any account on my phone or ever backed up anything. so i thought maybe the phone might have to be wiped in order to update, so i took it to apple and they did a full factoryDf wipe but everything still got restored an now theres something that says managed configuration on my phone
This sounds like some other discussions that have been posted elsewhere on these forums? From what I understand there may be a common factor in some (perhaps all?) of them. I'm thinking an Apple Store or Stores? If I were you I would take it back to the store you to took it for the DF wipe and get them to sort their mess out.
what is a managed configuration?
