Thanks for that! Also, is there a way to stop the annoying Safari pop-ups on both my iPhone and Mac?

Hey @luuk, I got you covered on the iPhone part! Here’s what I did to block pop-ups:

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Safari.
3. Toggle Block Pop-ups on, and you’re good to go!

As for your Mac… not too sure about that.

Hello @luuk, I can help with the Mac! Here’s what you gotta do:

1. Open Safari on your Mac.
2. Click Safari in the top-left corner, then hit Settings.
3. Jump to the Websites tab, scroll to Pop-up Windows, and set the pop-up settings for each site, or block them all.

P.S: If websites keep bugging you asking permissions for notifications, head over to the Notifications section (same tab), and uncheck Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications.

Hope this helps!

Hello @luuk ,

Hexnode offers a feature to block Safari pop-ups on iOS devices. Here’s how you can configure this restriction:

2. Go to Policies > iOS.
3. You can either create a new policy by clicking New Policy and providing a name and description (optional) or choose an existing policy to edit.
4. Navigate to iOS > Restrictions > Basic, then click Configure.
5. Under Allow Application Settings, locate Safari, and select the option Block pop-ups.

This should prevent Safari pop-ups on the targeted iOS devices. Let me know if you need further assistance!
