- 2 new Rules (For DO mode devices only)
- Web Content Filtering - In projects where mobile devices are used to browse the internet, additional customization is needed, particularly when it comes to filtering inappropriate content. The ‘set private DNS’ rule allows admins to choose which websites are accessible and which aren't, via a DNS server of their choice. Once this rule is set up, inappropriate content will be blocked from web browsers and any apps attempting to reach it.
Requires android OS >= 10. - Date and Time Settings Access -FocusMDM’s unique ‘block apps at a given time interval’ rule allows customization of app usage times - say: blocking YouTube during working hours. With the ‘Disallow config date and time’ rule, device holders are now unable to circumvent this rule by changing the time manually in the device settings.

Device Storage-Level Alerts - Admins will now be alerted via email notification of devices with less than 10% storage capacity remaining. This is useful in situations where device storage capacity can hinder the effective use of the device and thus the efficiency of on-the-ground projects.
Device Health Stats - Admins using the FocusMDM dashboard can now view particular device health stats for a Device. This feature provides admins better troubleshooting data when devices present technical problems in the field.

Is it Instagram or YouTube? How much time in a day are your users working with their devices?
How much data does Google Play store consume in the background? - Archiving a Device. This concept can be confusing and the action was called "Delete" so its been renamed "Archive"
This does not wipe or factory reset the device. It archives the device so it cannot be managed and hides it from being seen on the Dashboard. - Email Notifications
Is it clear what the Issue is about and why you are getting this email? - Performance improvements when doing bulk actions on a group of devices (ie forced sync on a Device Group)
