Day in brief
iOS Company Portal minimum rises in December as Purview DLP adds Intune approvals
Two Message Center notices carry the main operational weight this period. The iOS/iPadOS Company Portal minimum will become version 5.2608.0 in early December, while Purview DLP will add Intune multi-admin approval support for unmanaged apps in Edge for Business in late November. The remaining changes are primarily documentation: new MDM partner eligibility guidance, a proxy-scope clarification, Managed Home Screen JSON guidance, and wording or formatting refreshes for enrollment and Company Portal articles.
