MDM

Shared iPad overview

Shared iPad can be used not only in education but also in business. Multiple users can use the iPad, and the user experiences can be personal even though the devices are shared.

For example, in the classroom, transitions from class to class are greatly simplified. It’s easier to pick up right where students left off, and their work is automatically saved. When used with Classroom, intelligent caching helps accelerate student sign-ins by returning students to an iPad they previously used.

Shared iPad requires a mobile device management (MDM) solution and Managed Apple IDs that are issued and owned by the organization. Users with a Managed Apple ID can then sign in to Shared iPad, which is owned by the organization. Devices must have at least 32 GB of storage and be supervised. Shared iPad is supported on:

iPad Pro
iPad (5th generation or later)
iPad Air 2 (or later)
iPad mini (4th generation or later)

Note: Managed Apple IDs don’t support Family Sharing.
