Skipping Setup Screens

Without Mobile Access Management, iOS devices show a number of screens during device setup. The exact screens shown vary depending on device model and iOS version.

IMPORTANT:

It is important to skip all setup screens if you wish to have fully unattended device setup. MDM apps do not download when setup screens are shown.

  • If you are using ADE (formerly DEP), the selection of screens to show or skip are set within your MDM. Configure your DEP profile to skip all screens for touch-free device setup.

  • When using a non-ADE device, MAM’s Supervision Options determine which screens are shown or skipped. MAM will continue to show three screens, even if you set all screens to be skipped:

  1. Hello

  2. Wi-Fi (even if set by the Workflow)

  3. Welcome to iPhone

MAM can skip all device setup screens if your Workflow includes the "Restore from Backup" action. The backup can be almost anything, even the default backup included with your MAM environment. The backup does not need to match your device model or OS.
