Student devices have had iOS 26 deferred until recently. They’ve been on iOS 18 until this month. But with the students finally upgrading the “Modifying wallpaper” restriction hasn’t been working as usual.
They still can’t access the wallpaper menu in their system settings however when they press and hold to edit apps and widgets on their screen they can edit their home screen wallpaper from there.
As a last ditch resort we can make a home screen layout payload but this locks in all app and widget customization.
We have made and automated management action that will change the wallpaper every day but we do have some tenacious kids who continue to change it every day.
Does anyone know another fix for this or maybe it will be something patched in the future?
What would be really amazing is if they could restrict it so they cannot select photos but only pick the gradients or a solid color. but it doesn’t seem like they have that as an option for iPads
