The Apple Device Belongs to the Company - How to Check It?

About Supervised Apple Device

Many small, big companies and educational organizations practice supervision mode. It is easy to manage Macs, iPhones, and iPads remotely through a supervised MDM form.

What does supervision mean? A company that uses this mode has easy control over the device that belongs to it. Administrators can distantly monitor smartphones and computers, update their operating system, erase information, lock gadgets, etc. It is a must to say that every Apple device has no supervision mode by default. The company has to enable it through Apple Configurator or another Manager.
