Web content filter device policy
You can add a device policy in XenMobile to filter web content on iOS devices by using Apple’s auto-filter function in conjunction with specific sites that you add to allow and block lists. This policy is available only on iOS 7.0 and later devices in Supervised mode. For information about placing an iOS device into Supervised mode, seeTo place an iOS device in Supervised mode by using the Apple Configurator.
