Suppress the Quick Start functionality in iOS for DEP/Supervised devices

Hi All

 

Is there any ability to suppress the Quick Start functionality in iOS for DEP/Supervised devices?

 

The Quick Start feature is what allows you to setup one iOS device by holding another iOS device you already use near the new one and allowing them to share settings.

 

Can this be suppressed or turned of for DEP Supervised devices?

 

Info appreciated

    Hi Stuart,

    Yes, you can achieve it by going to IOS Enrollment->Enrollment program tokens->Create Profile (if you don’t have one) ->Click on Profile->Create profile (if you don’t have one)->Hide ‘Device to Device Migration‘ (end of list).

    Please let me know if you have any questions!

        StuartK73 I'm experiencing this issue as well.  I have a test DEP profile with "Device to Device Migration" set to Hide.  I've assigned the test DEP profile to the serial number of a test iPhone and even after resetting the device to factory settings in DFU mode, it still prompts for Quick Start mode.  We're trying to avoid this bug

    StuartK73  I don't think this is possible, since Quick Start can be initiated before the device contacts Apple's activation server for DEP. If anyone finds a workaround, please keep me in the loop, as I've been trying to find a solution for this for a while now also. Thanks.

    I'm also curious about doing this for supervised devices that we managed via Intune.. Any solution found for this?

    I'm not sure how it would be possible to get rid of that screen since it is displayed before the WiFi network prompt.  The device doesn't know about any MDM configuration at that point.
