Send message to device

The new Sophos Mobile pages in Sophos Central might not be available for all customers yet.

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.
