Today’s a critical day for administrators managing a fleet of mobile devices via Microsoft Intune. Without updates, apps – including Microsoft’s own – may stop working.
Microsoft warned in 2025: “Starting January 19, 2026, or soon after, we’re making updates to improve the Intune mobile application management (MAM) service.”
The updates require iOS-wrapped apps, iOS SDK-integrated apps, and the Intune Company Portal for Android to run the latest versions or “be blocked from launching your app.”
It isn’t just line-of-business applications that are affected. Microsoft stated: “If your users haven’t updated to the latest Microsoft or third-party app protection supported apps, they’ll be blocked from launching their apps.”
