Web Clips MDM payload settings for Apple devices
You can add Web Clips to the Home Screen of iPhone and iPad devices and users of Mac computers in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Use the Web Clips payload to add Web Clips to the Home Screen of the user’s device. Web Clips provide fast access to favorite webpages or links. For example, add a Web Clip with a phone number (using the format tel://18006947466), to provide a quick way to dial your support desk, or add the online version of the iPhone User Guide to the Home Screen by specifying the URL https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/.
