How to customize the safari start page on iphone and ipad.

Make your Start Page clean and simple---or just as cluttered as you like it.

On your iPhone or iPad, you can easily customize the Safari Start Page in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 (or higher). You can make the page blank (mostly), add a background image, or pick and choose what you want to see. Here's how.

First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and open a new tab by tapping the tabs button (two overlapping rectangles), then tapping the plus ("+") button.

You'll see Safari's "Start Page" by default. To edit what's on the Start Page, scroll down if necessary and tap the "Edit" button.

When you tap "Edit," a "Customize Start Page" window will appear. Use the switches beside the listed options to turn them on or off. Here's what each option does.

• Favorites: This displays items from your Favorites list (like bookmarks).
• Frequently Visited: You'll see a list of frequently visited websites.
• Shared With You: This gives you a list of items shared with you from other people through the Messages app.
• Privacy Report: This shows a report on the number of trackers Safari has blocked recently.
• Siri Suggestions: This displays suggestions from Siri related to what's in your history and bookmarks.
• Reading List: This shows items from your Reading List .
• iCloud Tabs: This shows Safari tabs that are synchronized across iCloud from your other devices.

While also in the "Customize Start Page" window, you can use the "three lines" handle beside each item to tap and drag the Start Page items in the list. This will change the order of how the items will appear on the Start Page.

And if you turn the switch beside "Background Image" into the "on" position, you can select a background picture that will display behind the content on your Start Page. Tap an image in the thumbnails or tap the plus ("+") button to select a custom image from your photo library.

If you want to make your Start Page as minimalist as possible, switch off every item on the "Customize Start Page" list. (Unfortunately, you'll still see the "Edit" button.)

When you're done, click the "X" button to close the Customize Start Page window. The changes you've made take effect immediately. Happy browsing!

How to change your Safari Homepage on Mac, iPhone and iPad

While you may not think much about what your Homepage is on Safari , this can be the handiest way to see your favorite site first. Every time you open Safari, you can visit the website you like most right off the bat or when you hit your Home button. Maybe it’s your preferred news source, the weather site you trust most, or your favorite tech site, iDownloadblog.com.

To make sure you get to your favorite website quickly each day, here’s how to change your Safari Homepage on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Change your Safari Homepage

Open Safari on your Mac, and then follow these steps to change your Homepage:

1) Click Safari > Preferences from the top menu bar.

2) Choose the General tab.

3) In the box next to Homepage , enter the URL of the website you want. If you are currently on that site, just click the Set Current Page button. This will change that URL for you.

Set your Homepage for new windows and tabs

By making that change above, each time you click the Home button on your toolbar or History > Home from the menu bar, you’ll land on that page. But you can set it up so that whenever you open a new Safari window or tab, you’ll go directly to that page too.

In the same Safari Preferences window, above Homepage , you’ll see the options for New windows open with and New tabs open with . You can click the drop-down box and choose Homepage for both or just one.

For something out of the ordinary, you can also set an image as your Safari Homepage on Mac. So, you can see your adorable pet, favorite vacation spot, or loving family whenever you open Safari.

On iPhone and iPad

Things are currently not as simple on iOS as they are on macOS. There isn’t a setting for Homepage in Safari on iPhone and iPad. But there is a workaround you can use to always open Safari with your favorite page. You’ll do this by creating a shortcut on your Home Screen, and here’s how.

1) Open Safari on iPhone or iPad and go to the site you want to use.

2) Tap the Share button at the bottom.

3) Select Add to Home Screen .

4) Name your shortcut and tap Add .

Now, whenever you want to open Safari to that “Homepage,” just tap your shortcut.

Jamf provides user-friendly device management for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV devices

Jamf Apple device management

As businesses increase the number of Apple devices across their teams and enact bring-your-own-device policies, using a scalable management solution that works seamlessly with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV is an invaluable tool. Jamf offers multiple products that can help streamline the IT process for companies with just a few Apple devices, or those running hundreds of Apple devices across multiple locations.

For teams just entering the device management world or companies with no dedicated IT department, Jamf can make potentially frustrating tasks like connecting new employee devices to their email account a one-click process. Once a device is enrolled in Jamf management, administrators can add Wi-Fi networks, VPNs, security protocols, and push enterprise applications to employees without ever touching their device.

I have been personally using Jamf Now for five years and have managed over 100 Apple devices from a single account.

Administrators and IT professionals alike can utilize zero-touch deployment with any Apple device. This allows any business to ship a new Apple product to an employee and the moment it powers on, the device is enrolled in Jamf and the set-up process begins automatically. Users will have access to all the business tools they need right away, and any needed applications will install on first start-up.

Companies can also utilize Jamf's open enrollment feature that allows anyone in the company to enroll their device into management just by visiting a URL and inputting a password.

Once a device has been added to the Jamf platform, administrators can view information about that iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV such as the operating system that device is running, its serial number, storage capacity, whether or not a passcode has been set, and even push changes to that device remotely.

Administrators using Jamf Now can create Blueprints that save all the applications, security provisions, restrictions, and even wallpaper settings and then apply that Blueprint to any new device that's added to the management platform.

Settings can be as granular as requiring an alphanumeric passcode, how many failed passcode attempts result in erasing the device, and a maximum auto-lock time. Jamf also gives businesses access to restrict Siri usage, iCloud services, or delay OS updates for a specific amount of time.

Even with these powerful management features, the end-user experience of all Jamf products remains fast and fluid. I have never had complaints from any user with a device being managed by Jamf.

If you're a small or medium sized business who just needs the device management basics, Jamf Now starts at just $2 per month per device . The first three devices are completely free and can be managed long-term at no cost.

Companies looking for increased security and workflow options should consider Jamf's Apple Enterprise Management solution which combines their Jamf Connect, Jamf Pro and Jamf Protect products. These advanced solutions when used together automate the entire lifecycle of Apple in the enterprise including the ability to sign on with one set of cloud-identity credentials, device deployment and management, compliance monitoring, security from threats, and much more.

For small schools to large districts, Jamf also has solutions for education with the Jamf School platform . Unique features for parents and teachers allow management of devices in a classroom or home setting, including advanced iPadOS and tvOS management, and can be used in 1-to-1 iPad initiatives, or complete Mac labs.

User Enrollment

• Updated on 07 Feb 2024

Jamf leverages User Enrollment for its global fleet of employee BYOD devices, exactly as described in this article.

Want to see how we do it? Check out How We BYO @ Jamf from JNUC 2023!

User Enrollment is the native Apple-supplied vehicle to support personally-owned / BYO devices.* Trusted Access is specifically designed to leverage User Enrollment, with other BYOD strategies not supported by the solution.

Trusted Access depends upon the inherent, private-by-design architecture delivered by User Enrollment. Specifically, on a single physical device, user enrollment effectively enables two logical device partitions: one for personal use and one for work.

Work apps, accounts, and data are stored within a "managed" partition on the device, while personal apps and data are encrypted separately on the "personal" partition. There is a strict firewall between work and personal, preventing IT administrators from having any visibility or control on data-in-motion or at-rest on the personal side. Administrators have limited but essential controls to manage data flow between the partitions for Data Loss Protection purposes.

To the end user, Apple blends the work and personal apps at the user interface level, so it feels like the user has a single device. Apple provides innovative and integrated Focus Filters that allow a user to hide work apps from view, disable notifications, and hide emails and calendar events when it is time to check out for the day.

To support app installation and further separation of work and personal identity, Apple requires the use of About Managed Apple IDs (MAIDs) to create and use the Work partition on the device. MAIDs are special organization-managed Apple IDs that typically take on the form of the user's work email address (e.g. [email protected] ), with authentication provided by the organization's identity provider through a process known as federated authentication . This allows a user to use a MAID without really knowing it: they just use their email address and IdP credentials to initialze and use them.

This separation even extends to networking. An IT administrator can only apply company VPN networking to managed work applications, with no ability to manipulate or intercept traffic on the personal side in any way. Conversely, a user is free to use iCloud Private Relay or their own VPN of their choice that will only apply to their unmanaged personal applications.

From a Trusted Access perspective, this allows the solution architecture to treat the personal side of the device as "unsanctioned" while treating the work side of the device as "sanctioned" .

By coupling this deployment strategy with Jamf technologies via Trusted Access:

• Most employees no longer need to carry around two phones as privacy and transparency builds user confidence to adopt user enrollment on their own device.
• Enrollment is easy and driven by the user through native iOS/iPadOS user interface and federated authentication.
• Compliance is acheived by making User Enrollment a required step to access critical apps on a mobile device, such as email. See this demo video as an example.
• Organizational data both at-rest and in-motion are securely managed and segmented from personal data and activity.
• IT organizations are able to confidently enable the entire library of work iOS/iPadOS apps to end users to faciliate more productive mobile work without technical/developer overhead.
• Deploying User Enrollment

While User Enrollment does not deploy device-wide management capabilities, it is still deployed using Mobile Device Management (MDM) APIs, facilitated by Jamf Pro.

• Devices with iOS/iPadOS 15.0 or later
• Jamf Pro 10.33 or later
• The ability to host a .json file on your domain's web server
• An Apple Business/School Manager account

Follow these steps to get User Enrollment up and running in your environment:

• Configure Single Sign On integration in Jamf Pro for user-initiated enrollment.
• Setup Federated Authentication via ABM to enable Managed Apple IDs to be automatically created and authenticated using your organization's identity provider.
• Don't forget to set the content-type header to application-json in response to the device's GET request!
• We do not recommend using profile-driven user enrollment for most end user activations.
• Navigate to Users > Smart Groups and create a new group.
• Provide a name, we recommend Managed Apple IDs
• Criteria: Managed Apple ID
• Operator: like
• Value: @{{your company domain}} (e.g. @company.com )
• Navigate to Users > Volume Assignments and create a New volume assignment
• Give a name like BYO Devices Volume Assignment
• Set the VPP location to be that of the same ABM/ASM portal that has federation of the domain being used for MAIDs
• Under Apps , check the box for any apps you want to deploy, or have available in Self Service, for BYO devices
• Under Scope make the target the MAID smart group created above (e.g. Managed Apple IDs )
• Navigate to Users > Invitations and create a new inivtation
• Give a name like BYOD Managed Apple IDs
• Set the location to the same VPP location as above. IMPORTANT: this must originate from the same ABM/ASM server as the MAIDs coming from federation.
• Set the distribution method to “Automatically register only users with Managed Apple IDs and skip invitation”
• Check the box “Automatically register with volume purchasing if users have Managed Apple IDs"
• Set the scope to your Managed Apple IDs smart user group (e.g. Managed Apple IDs )
• Navigate to Devices > Smart Device Groups and make a new smart device group
• Provide the new group with a Name , we recommend User Enrolled BYOD Devices .
• Criteria: Device Ownership Type
• Operator: is
• Value: Personal (Account-Driven User Enrollment)
• Navigate to Mobile Devices > Mobile Device Apps
• Add or edit an existing Mobile App and add the new User Enrolled BYOD Devices smart group to the Scope for deployment.

Depending upon your existing app deployment strategy, you may need to exclude the User Enrolled BYOD Devices smart group from some app assignments to avoid assignment conflicts between instituionally owned and personally owned devices.

Here at Jamf, we excluded the User Enrolled BYOD Devices smart group from all existing mobile apps, and created a new app entry (and Category for organization) for every app that should be available to BYOD devices.

If a user already has an unmanaged version of an app installed, (e.g. Google Chrome), and the MDM attempts to install a managed version of the app, the installation will fail.

The user will need to un-install the unmanaged app version first, then re-attempt the installation of the app from Self Service.

Some apps support "dual personas", that is a "work" account and a "personal" account. This includes apps such as Slack and Dropbox.

Most vendors that provide such apps also provide an "EMM" version of their apps, such as "Slack EMM" and "Dropbox EMM" respectively. This allows users to keep the personal version of their app on the personal side of their device, which the "EMM" version of the app is used on the work side with their work account.

Admins can enforce that a user can only login to the managed version of the app by Restricting Access for Anonymous Devices (with the "personal" side of the device appearing as anoymous in this case).

• Configure Self-Service to be pushed to devices using Automatic Deployment upon enrollment.

With this configuration complete, users should now be able to enroll in User Enrollment as shown in this experience .

• Deploying Jamf Trust

Jamf Trust is used to enable network segmentation between work apps and personal devices. This provides IT added assurances that corporate data is not subject to attack on unknown third party networks or untrusted environments.

This is accomplished using Jamf Private Access and attaching Per-App VPN configurations to managed apps and accounts.

Follow these step to configure network segmentation for managed apps on User Enrolled devices:

• Set the Device Group to a new group named BYO Devices
• Select the identity provider configured in RADAR (usually the same as that used for MAID federation)
• For Capabilities minimally select Zero Trust Network Access . If licensed and desired, select Threat Defense and Data Policy . Keep in mind all capabilities will only work in the work partition of the device.
• Under Traffic Matching > Application Hostnames , add a wildcard hostname * .
• Under Users and Groups , select Limited then select the BYO Devices group created above.
• Under Routing , select Encrypt and route via Private Access: Nearest Data Center .
• Under Managed Deployment select Jamf Pro .
• Expand iOS / iPadOS Managed App Configuration and click Show App Configuration
• Copy the XML presented as save it for the next step. Warning : do not deploy the RADAR defined UEM Configuration Profiles . They are not permitted to be installed on a User Enrolled device!
• In App Configuration paste the app configuration copied in the previous step.
• For Scope , define the User Enrolled BYOD Devices smart group created earlier.
• It is recommended to Auto-Deploy Jamf Trust to make sure users have it available to enable the networking required for managed applications.
• Note: Safari Domains are not supported on User Enrolled devices by Apple for privacy reasons.
• Create and deploy a Per-App VPN mobile configuration profile that is scoped to your User Enrolled devices (e.g. User Enrolled BYOD Devices )
• In Devices > Mobile Device Apps , edit an app that you would like to add VPN networking to.
• Under Per-App Networking , select the Per-App VPN configuration you created in the previous step.
• It may take up to two minutes for the Per-App VPN configuration to be bound to the defined app after saving.
• Once bound, the mobile app will not be able to use any network traffic unless Jamf Trust is properly installed and activated by the end user.
• Traffic destinations will be limited to the hostnames authorized across all Access Policies in RADAR. In an earlier step we added a wildcard * rule, effectively sending all traffic destinations through the VPN and out to the internet. Private destinations (e.g. interal or private cloud apps) will be reachable by these applications if access policies are defined to permit them for the user and the BYO device's group as defined in RADAR.
• Since Safari Domains do not work for User Enrolled devices, a non-Safari browser dedicated to work-traffic should be used instead.
• Configure this by creating a new Mobile Device App and use Chrome, Edge, Opera, or private browser of choice. Be sure to attach the Per-App VPN to it and scope it to the BYO Device smart group as well.
• Now all traffic generated by this app will flow through the Private Access infastructure, including public and private destinations per policy.
• Configuring Data Loss Protection

Preventing the flow of "managed" work data to "unmanaged" destinations is a critical security feature of the Trusted Access solution to ensure data remains under control on endpoints.

Apple provides a set of very useful restriction commands that may be deployed on user enrolled devices to control this data flow, including but not limited to:

• Disabling AirDrop for managed apps
• Preventing Copy/Paste to and from managed and unmanaged apps
• Preventing "Open In..." to and from managed and unmanaged apps
• Preventing screenshots across the entire device
• Preventing notifications from displaying previews on the the lock screen when the device is locked

Apple has selected these sets of restrictions that balance enterprise control of data with user privacy, in consideration that the device belongs to the individual.

• Device Passcode Requirements

Included by default upon User Enrollment is a required 6-digit numeric passcode for the device.

It is not possible to change the complexity requirements of this device passcode as this specific requirement was selected to balance user experience with adequate security.

Given Apple's in-built brute force protection mechanisms , a six-digit passcode provides sufficient brute force attack protection for most organizations.

Jamf delivers new products to help organizations meet security and compliance needs with Apple devices

Today, during a live-stream event, Jamf delivered some new product announcements designed to meet the news of IT teams looking for help with security and compliance concerns as they manage their Apple fleet of Macs, iPads, iPhones, and more.

“At Jamf, we celebrate the ways that Apple devices are different, but also know they still need to meet the same high compliance standards as other devices used for work,” said Sam Johnson, Chief Customer Officer at Jamf.  “This means IT admins are being asked to get more involved beyond traditional device management functions to help meet these various compliance standards across their Apple devices. Jamf is proud to deliver a platform that organizations trust and users love, and our approach to providing tools that help customers navigate the vast and varied compliance landscape is no exception.”

Compliance dashboard in Jamf Protect

At the event, Jamf unveiled an adaptable compliance dashboard for Jamf Protect, offering a novel approach to viewing compliance in line with CIS benchmarks for your complete array of devices. This innovative dashboard allows IT administrators to see an overall baseline score, termed the “Fleet Hardening Score,” alongside the capability to delve into finer points to identify and resolve compliance problems across their device fleet.

Compliance Editor with Jamf Pro for iOS and iPadOS

This functionality dispels any uncertainty regarding the enforcement of compliance on mobile devices. The Compliance Editor serves as the mechanism that produces deployable configuration files in Jamf Pro, enabling organizations to adhere to CIS benchmarks. Jamf has revealed that the Compliance Editor is now accessible for both iOS and iPadOS, facilitating uniform security standards across Macs, iPhones, and iPads. With the Compliance Editor, administrators can swiftly generate the numerous detailed configurations needed to ensure endpoints comply with a selected benchmark, all with just a few clicks.

Jamf Routines in Jamf Pro

Jamf introduced Jamf Routines, providing Jamf Pro users with innovative no-code automations and integrations to bolster the strength and efficiency of IT teams. Administrators now have the capability to establish integrations between Jamf Pro and platforms like Slack or Microsoft Teams, featuring automated notifications triggered by particular conditions, such as a device becoming non-compliant. Through Jamf Routines, admins are also empowered to determine instances when a re-deployment of the Jamf Management Framework is necessary to reinstate device compliance, enhancing the overall security and compliance stance.

Privilege Elevation in Jamf Connect for macOS grants temporary and conditional access to admin privileges

Jamf also unveiled Privilege Elevation, a new functionality that utilizes an organization’s cloud identity provider along with Jamf Connect, enabling temporary admin rights for local macOS accounts under specific conditions, contingent on legitimate user authentication and authorization. Within this timeframe, by integrating with Jamf Protect, Jamf will deliver comprehensive telemetry regarding tasks executed with elevated privileges on the device. This initiative assists organizations in auditing endpoint actions, while facilitating the detection of and response to intrusions on macOS systems.

App Version Control within App Installers keeps apps updated and protected


Jamf also showcased enhancements to App Installers, notably through the recent launch of App Version Control. This enhancement empowers administrators with greater control over App Installers deployments by enabling them to trial a version on a select group of devices before deciding which version to roll out to targeted computers at their discretion. The option to select between automatic or manual updates to determine the version affords administrators the flexibility and authority over the App Installers titles within their network, ensuring that users stay productive with essential business applications while maintaining security and currency.

Wrap up on Jamf event

Jamf also announced its plans to introduce watchOS management capabilities later this year, including both enrollment and inventory features. Finally, Jamf recapped its recent update about now offering support for Apple Vision Pro across the entire Jamf suite.
