Managed Home Screen gains Android suspend-and-restore remote actions

The substantive update adds two Intune remote actions for temporarily letting users leave Managed Home Screen without removing policies or requiring a PIN. The device returns to the kiosk experience automatically when the defined duration expires or when the restore action is used. No preview or general-availability status is specified.

  Suspend and restore actions added for Managed Home Screen

  Intune now provides separate remote actions to suspend and restore Managed Home Screen on eligible Android devices. Suspension gives users temporary access to the device’s default launcher without removing policies or requiring a PIN; expiration of the configured duration, or the restore action, automatically re-locks the device into the kiosk experience.
