Microsoft Intune expands support for Apple specialty devices

“Now, we’re introducing support for app protection policies (APP) on Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s AR/VR device, starting with Microsoft Teams on visionOS. Beginning in November 2024, customers can apply the same robust APP protections currently available for Android and iOS mobile devices to Vision Pro. This ensures organizational data is safeguarded on Vision Pro, empowering users to embrace the potential of AR/VR while maintaining compliance and security.

Looking ahead to early 2025, we’ll extend APP support to additional Microsoft 365 apps, creating a unified, secure ecosystem for employees across devices. For added flexibility, our Intune SDK will also be available for third-party applications, enabling organizations to integrate protection and control of company data—whether for office workers, remote employees, or frontline teams.

To further expand these capabilities, Microsoft plans to introduce mobile device management (MDM) for visionOS and tvOS early next year. This will mark an important step in ensuring that devices that run these systems can be seamlessly managed within Intune. By extending this approach to Apple’s specialty devices, Intune helps ensure your workers—wherever they are—have the tools they need to stay productive and secure, all from a single, unified platform.”
