Google’s new iOS Sync features for Google Apps users are now available

After announcing its new iOS Sync feature for Google Apps customers last week, the new iOS Mobile Device Management solution is now available to users:

The advantages of iOS Sync for users and administrators include:

• Manage Google Apps: Set a policy that prompts employees to enroll their device when they log into Google Apps such as Google Drive and Gmail.
• Configure WiFi networks: Distribute WiFi passwords and certificates to employees so they can easily connect to trusted networks.
• Support for existing policies: Manage password requirements, data encryption and camera policies, as well as actions like remotely wiping a device, activation approvals and blocking devices.

The feature is available starting today for Google Apps for Work, Google Apps for Education and Google Apps for Government users. Admins can access the new features from the Admin console now: Admins should access the Device management function in the Admin console to establish an Apple push notification certificate and begin enabling these new functions.
