Profile Customization

Once you've enabled device supervision, you will now be able to add profiles to restrict settings on your iPhone or iPad.

With Supervision enabled on your iPhone, you can now install profiles, also known as Config Files.

The Supervised Config Files available on the Tech Lockdown dashboard have been specifically designed to be impossible to uninstall without unlocking your Tech Lockdown profile .

Supervised Config Files

On the Tech Lockdown dashboard, you can access these Config Files by going to Tools > iPhone / iPad.

You will see two options:

  1. Config Presets
  2. App Management

Config Presets

Config Presets can be installed onto your supervised iPhone and cover most settings that you might want to restrict. Additionally, you can lock these profiles behind your Tech Lockdown profile, meaning that it's more difficult to disable than by using Apple Configurator.

To see a full list of Config Presets and how they work, please read the help doc here .

App Management

App Management let's you create your own App Allowlist or Blocklist.

Use a Blocklist if you want to restrict access to specific apps, and use an Allowlist if you want to block access to all but a few apps.

For up-to-date information about App Management Tools, please see our help doc here .

Installing Config Files

The Tech Lockdown dashboard includes a comprehensive wizard to walk you through each step of the Config File installation process.

This wizard can be found on the Tech Lockdown dashboard under Device Setup > iPhone / iPad
