    Is there a way to have the Mass360 app set as always on all of my devices from the dashboard? I don't want to give the users the users the option to change this setting. The new IOS keeps flashing that your device has tracked your location (so many times) in the last 5 days. Many of the employees either inadvertently or on purpose change the setting on their device.

    Hi Thomas - in terms of location tracking, even with Supervised devices, Apple gives the most power to the end user - they will always be able to disable locations for our app in some fashion, and they will be prompted to accept permissions.  There aren't really any workarounds for these limitations.  The only exception is if the device is Supervised and marked as "Lost" in the device actions.  At that point the MaaS360 app isn't required to pull location.  The downside is that it will lock the device in Lost mode and the user will not be able to access it.
