MDM Enrollment and Migration (iMazing Business)

Both features ensure the iOS or iPadOS Setup Assistant displays the "Remote Management" screen for Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP):
  • New "Enroll in MDM" action in the device "Tools" section
    This powerful new feature seamlessly enrolls devices to any MDM—whether for the first time or migrating from one MDM to another—with a simple action in iMazing.
  • New "Allow MDM enrollment via Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP)" option in the "Restore Backup" wizard
    This functionality is also available in iMazing Configurator blueprints as "Prevent skipping Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP) when restoring backup," enabling bulk device MDM migration.

• Improved: Pre-Configuration "Back Up / Set backup encryption status" action

• New: --filter-end-time option to filter items exported by --device-export-datasets

This allows for example to filter exports of Messages, WhatsApp conversations, Call History, and other contact-related datasets to show only items matching specific contact names, phone numbers, or email addresses
