Wallpaper configuration refers to the ability to control and place the wallpaper or background image on the home screen or lock screen of an organization's managed Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs.
Through MDM solutions like SimpleMDM, MacAdmins can remotely customize and set both the home screen and lock screen wallpapers on iOS devices.
SimpleMDM supports setting the lock screen and home screen wallpaper for supervised iOS devices. This feature is helpful for organizations that wish to unify the look across a fleet of devices by setting a company logo or Image to display. In combination with arranging app icons, this feature helps maintain visual standards and branding across an enterprise organization.
Apple's MDM wallpaper configuration doesn't allow an external URL to pull the wallpaper image. The image file needs to be included in the MDM profile when it's being created. |
