Venn secures work and protects your privacy by isolating business activity from any personal use on the same device. In addition to your computer, you can use Venn’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) software on your iOS 15+ Apple device.

In order to access your work-related data on your Apple mobile device, you will need to enroll your device.

To set up Venn on your Apple device:

1. On your Apple device, open Settings.

4. Before signing in, you may be required to provide biometric authentication using Face ID or Touch ID and/or comply with a one-hour security delay if you have the Stolen Device Protection feature active on your Apple device.
   These security measures are designed to prevent someone who has stolen your device and knows your passcode from making critical changes to your account or device. You can temporarily disable Stolen Device Protection if you do not want to comply with the one-hour security delay. To learn more, see this Apple Support article.
