Hey Cedric! You can block the popups in iOS devices, you would have to follow these steps:

1. Go to Policies Tab.
2. Create a New Policy or edit and existing policy.
3. Click on iOS Settings.
4. Click on Restrictions tab situated at the sidebar and click configure.
5. Check the option Allow Safari, under the same option check Block pop-ups.
6. Save the Policy and apply the policy to the required devices.

Once this is done, the popups of the iOS devices would be blocked.

Cheers!

Can the pop-up window be blocked on Android devices?

Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us. Happy to help.

Yes, you can. Please navigate to the Policies tab. Create a new policy or choose to edit an existing one. Navigate to Android–>Advanced Restrictions–>Display Settings. Disable the ‘Display dialogs/windows’ option. This will block the dialogs/windows for system overlays, alerts, errors, toast messages, etc..

Kindly use the help link for more info.

Cheers!

Is this supported natively on all Android devices?
