Android application management capabilities depend heavily on the device management method and the type of applications.

It is important to understand that certain app management capabilities, such as silent app deployment or remote configuration of app settings, are not universally supported by all device management methods and application types. Instead, you need to consider the compatibility of the device management method and the type of applications you are managing.

For Apple iPhones and iPads, the extent of application management somewhat depends on whether you are managing your devices in the iOS supervised mode.

However, regardless of the devices' supervised state, you can always use GoTo Resolve MDM to deploy, configure, update, and uninstall in-house (.IPA) apps and App Store apps to the managed devices remotely.

The key difference is that managing iOS devices in the Supervised mode, also gives you the possibility to deny the use of unwanted apps on your devices as well as the possibility to silently deploy apps to the managed devices without needing to distract the device users.
