Agile Development is a norm around Microsoft these days.

That basically breaks down to the fact that new features and enhancements are being shipped on a regular basis, many times more than once a month, and so keeping up with that progress can be challenging.

In order to help with that tracking, here is a great resource for Microsoft Intune users to get a list of those new items in the service.

Each month, the Intune team updates this documentation with a list of new features and enhancements for the previous month.

Today that document is highlighting the following new additions for July:

-- Restrict Android and iOS device enrollment restriction by OS version
-- Restrict Android, iOS, and macOS device personally owned device enrollment
-- New device action to force devices to sync with Intune
-- Conditional access support for Mac devices
-- Check Point SandBlast Mobile - New Mobile Threat Defense partner
-- Deploy an app as available in the Windows Store for Business
-- UI updates to the Company Portal website
-- Enhancements to app tiles
-- Navigation changes
-- Updates to Featured Apps
-- iBooks support for the Company Portal website
-- Light and dark modes available for the Company Portal app for Windows 10
-- Enable end users to tag their device group in the Company Portal app for Windows 10

They are also highlighting the end of support for two mobile operating systems, iOS 8 and Windows Phone 8.1, so users will need to make sure their client devices are updated to either iOS 9 or Windows 10 Mobile.

You can read the full details of these updates and changes over on the Microsoft Intune document portal.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
