Network Restrictions
The Network Restrictions configuration enables administrations to control the level of network access that a user has access to while using a specific application. Due to the large number of applications available, both work and entertainment based, it can be useful to administer restrictions on certain applications that use a large amount of cellular network data or cost data roaming. This configuration requires iOS 9 or later.
Network restriction of an application can be configured by specifying its bundle ID. Bundle ID with wildcard character(*) is allowed, must appear after a period character (.), and may only appear once, at the end of the string, for example com.mycompany.*. Additionally, iOS 9-12 devices require Application Rules. For iOS 13.0 and later, Application Rules, SIM Rules, or both must be present. (Requires Device Enrollment.)
Data Usage Rules for Managed Applications
| Application Rules | Use this section to add managed applications to the network restriction list. Enter the application bundle ID and select one of the following data restriction options: Disallow Cellular Data or Disallow Cellular While Roaming.
Note: You can enter the application bundle ID using an asterisk (
*) wildcard character, but the wildcard character must appear after a period character (.), and may appear only once, at the end of the string, e.g. com.mycompany.* |
