We are trying to find a way to block the Freeform app on iPadOS 16.2 for our K12 District. We normally would use a Restriction Profile using the SafeList and Blocklist Payload but I do not see an option for that app. Does anyone have a script or way to block?

Forgot to add that this is for Jamf School.

Thanks for the reply but I don't believe that works in Jamf School like it does in Jamf Pro. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually, you are correct. If I go to the restrictions profile in Jamf School - SafeList and Blocklist Payload - I can go to Add Application and search com.apple.freeform in App Store and block it.

Yes. That's what we had to do for our schools as well. Great app until it gets in the hands or Jr. High and High school students. Nothing like an unmonitored, easily shareable whiteboard to pass inappropriate content and create an easy bullying opportunity. 

Unless I'm overlooking something to monitor Freeform, we just blocked it wholesale.
