iOS 26 update delay not working

Hi Team,

Before the topic iOS 26 released sep 15

I have a customer using 5000 iPad Devices

In my case all of iOS update was enforced_software_update_delay configured about 90days value

But about 10 days ago(Nov, 10th) some devices upgraded automaitcally to iOS26 through MDM, some devices were able to upgrade manually and the number of devices that can manually upgrade is increasing.

So, I wonder how many guys facing this issue and what occur this issue

Thanks

Usually with software update delays devices won't show any updates within that 90 day period so the user cannot manually install the update.

I don't know what happens if you command devices to update via the dashboard but I would assume if should still fail.

I would verify that the devices have indeed got the software update restriction applied. You can do the via the settings page in your Meraki dashboard and clicking on the settings, it will then show the install status for the devices that the policy applies to.
