Send message to device

Restriction

You can't send messages to Windows computers and Macs.

You can send a custom message to a device managed by Sophos Mobile.

To do this, do as follows:

  1. Go to Devices > Mobile devices and click the name of the device to which you want to send a message.
  2. On the device's details page, click Actions > Send message.

  3. Enter the message text.

    You can enter up to 500 characters.

  4. Click OK.

The device shows the message in a notification window. Users can read older messages in the Sophos Mobile Control app on Android, iPhones, and iPads and in the Sophos Chrome Security extension on Chromebooks.
