If your iPad belongs to your company or school, there is a strong possibility that it could be supervised.
Schools and employers use supervision to manage and monitor the devices they own. But they may also place restrictions on how you can use the device.
Supervision gives the school or the company a lot of control over how the device is used.
For example, an admin may be able to restrict the apps that can be installed or used on the device. They may also be able to remotely lock or erase the device.
If you are not sure if your iPad is managed and supervised by an organization, keep reading to find out. We will also show you how you can remove supervision from the iPad.
A supervised iPad is a device that is managed by someone else, such as a school or organization.
This kind of supervision allows the school or business to easily manage and control all the iOS devices that they own.
It can also be used to apply restrictions to the device such as restricting access to the App store.
Supervision also gives the organization additional device configurations and features such as remotely updating apps or monitoring web usage.
By default, your iPad is not supervised. But supervision can be turned on when setting up a new device.
If a device has already been set up, the administrator will need to erase it to set up supervision.
You can check if your device is supervised in the Settings app. Just open the Settings app and tap on your name at the top of the screen.
If the device is supervised, you will see the message, "This iPad is Supervised and Managed By."
On devices running iOS 9 and lower, go to Settings > General > About to see if it is supervised.
