iOS Power Apps Update: Shared Device Mode Fully Available

Last Updated: February 28, 2024By

Exciting news from Microsoft! They’ve just announced the General Availability (GA) of Shared Device Mode (SDM) for Power Apps Mobile App on shared iOS devices. If you’re using Power Apps on iOS, this update is going to make your work life a whole lot easier and more secure.

So, what does this mean for you? Well, first off, it’s all about making your Power Apps experience smoother, especially if you’re sharing devices with colleagues. With SDM, which is already available for Android, Microsoft completes the circle of SDM feature availability for Power Apps mobile.

Now, let’s break it down a bit. With SDM on iOS 14 or higher devices, you can configure your Power Apps to be easily and securely shared among employees. That means no more hassle with multiple sign-ins. Once signed in, employees get a single sign-on (SSO) to all apps supporting this feature. It’s all about speedier access to the information you need to get your job done.

And here’s the kicker: when your shift ends or your task is complete, signing out of the device through any SDM-supported app automatically signs you out of all apps that support this feature. That means the device is immediately ready for the next user, with no access to the previous user’s data. Talk about peace of mind!

Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind. Your device needs to be configured to support shared device mode, which means having iOS 14+ installed and being MDM-enrolled. Make sure your MDM configuration also enables the Microsoft Enterprise SSO plug-in for Apple devices.

So there you have it – easier, more secure, and more convenient Power Apps usage on shared iOS devices. Ready to give it a go? We certainly are!

Happy app-ing!
