Version: 3.1.3
Release date: Tue, 06 May 2025 17:06:19 +0200
We are excited to announce the release of iMazing 3, the next-generation of our flagship software for managing iPhones and other Apple mobile devices from a Mac or Windows PC.
iMazing 3 has been entirely redesigned and re-engineered, offering a brand-new interface and a revamped user experience. This new major edition builds on the core features that have made iMazing the industry standard for years.
What's New in iMazing 3.1.3
- Fixed: App data restoration in "Manage Apps" now reverts to the previous method that minimizes device space requirements and prevents data loss for apps opting out of backup. iMazing also provides clear instructions for navigating the iOS Setup Assistant that appears after the device restarts following data restoration.
Note: We are still working on a solution to restore app downloads on Windows.
What's New in iMazing 3.1.2
Due to recent changes on Apple's servers, some apps are unavailable for download in the iMazing "Manage Apps" section.
We are actively working to find a solution. Our team is aware of the issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible. There is no need to contact our support team about this matter. We will release a patch as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

Both features ensure the iOS or iPadOS Setup Assistant displays the "Remote Management" screen for Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP):

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.

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.
