Controlling System Updates on Android Plus Enterprise Work Managed Devices
About this task
To control when system updates (both security and full operating system updates) are installed on devices:
Procedure
- In the Profiles view, select New Profile.
- In the Create Profile dialog box, enter a name for the profile and move to the Configurations tab. Select Add > System Update Policy.
-
Choose an installation policy.
Automatic Devices install system updates as soon as they become available. Windowed Devices install updates only within a specific time window. Set the Starting and Ending time to define the window. Postponed Devices delay updates for up to 30 days. After the delay, the device prompts users to install the update. Note: A new update resets the 30-day timer if the administrator postpones the earlier update. -
Set an annual OTA update freeze period.
Important: Freeze periods must adhere to specific guideline. They cannot exceed 90 days in duration. Additionally, they must not overlap with one another. Administrators should keep a minimum gap of 60 days between the end of one freeze period and the start of another.
- Select Save when you're done.
