Enroll iPhones and iPads without Apple Account

You can enroll an iPhone or iPad with Sophos Mobile without signing in to an Apple Account (formerly Apple ID). Use this, for example, to configure the device before handing it over to a user.

To enroll an iPhone or iPad without Apple Account, use one of the following methods:

In the assistant, do as follows:

  1. On the Enrollment page, select the Enrollment without Apple ID tab.
  2. Use the device's web browser to open the enrollment URL. This opens a Sophos Mobile enrollment form.
  3. In that form, enter the token and then click Enroll.
  4. Follow the instructions on the device to install the enrollment task bundle.

Warning

You must go to the Settings app to install the configuration profile you've downloaded. If you don't install the profile within eight minutes, it will be deleted and you must start over.

This restriction doesn't apply to devices you assign to Sophos Mobile using Apple Business Manager or Apple Configurator.
