Latest news and updates about Intune.
Microsoft Intune’s April 2026 updates improve Windows app inventory freshness, introduce modernized Linux single sign-on with Microsoft Identity Broker, and expand Apple device enrollment and management. These changes matter for IT teams that need faster device insights, stronger identity integration, and simpler support for shared or specialized endpoints.
Microsoft Intune now supports Android Enterprise management for Android XR devices, including the Samsung Galaxy XR headset. IT admins can use existing enrollment, policy, and app management workflows to test and deploy XR devices, while planning around current gaps such as kiosk mode, OEMConfig, and Remote Help.
Microsoft outlined how Windows 365 and Intune now work more closely together to manage Cloud PCs and physical devices from a single admin experience. The update highlights advanced endpoint management capabilities such as Remote Help, advanced analytics, Endpoint Privilege Management, Cloud PKI, and Enterprise App Management, helping IT teams improve security, support, and operational efficiency.
Microsoft Intune’s March 2026 updates improve Windows notification delivery, tighten role assignment boundaries, and expand Apple device protections. The release also adds earlier app trust during Autopilot setup, general availability for Windows Autopatch update readiness, and better iOS app status reporting through Declarative Device Management.
Microsoft is expanding Intune’s app security capabilities with enhanced app inventory in May and Enterprise Application Management auto-updates in July, giving IT teams better visibility into managed and user-installed Windows apps and faster deployment of software updates. These changes matter because they help organizations spot risky or unauthorized apps sooner, reduce version drift, and lower exposure to vulnerabilities as AI-driven workflows increasingly depend on secure endpoint applications.
Microsoft has added three new validated multi-tenant partners to its Intune for MSPs ecosystem—AvePoint Confidence Platform: Elements Edition, CyberDrain CIPP, and SoftwareCentral Tenant Manager—expanding tools for centralized automation, governance, security visibility, and policy standardization across customer tenants. This matters because it gives managed service providers more Microsoft-aligned options to reduce manual work, replace custom scripts, and manage multi-tenant environments more securely and efficiently.
Microsoft’s February Intune update adds multi-admin approval for device configuration and compliance policies, requiring a second admin to approve critical changes before they take effect. The release also improves Advanced Analytics device query results and expands Apple Declarative Device Management support, helping organizations strengthen change control, reduce configuration risk, and manage Apple devices more precisely at scale.
Microsoft announced public preview support for Intune App Protection Policies in Edge for Business work profiles on Windows, allowing organizations to protect corporate data in the browser even on PCs already managed by another tenant. This matters because it gives contractors and partner users secure access to business apps without requiring full device enrollment, while enforcing controls like download redirection, copy/paste restrictions, and clearer Entra-based onboarding.
Microsoft’s January 2026 Intune updates focus on reducing admin friction with new PowerShell-script installers for Win32 apps, making it easier to update deployment logic without repackaging full apps, while preserving clearer success and failure reporting. The release also improves Endpoint Privilege Management and broader approval and remediation workflows, which matters because it helps IT teams roll out changes faster, maintain user-context compatibility, and strengthen auditability across endpoint and security operations.
Microsoft has made Intune Admin Tasks generally available, giving IT teams a centralized, prioritized queue in the Intune admin center to handle Endpoint Privilege Management elevation requests, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint security tasks, and other sensitive admin workflows. This matters because it streamlines approvals and remediation, improves auditability and response times, and lays the groundwork for safer oversight of AI-assisted security and device management operations.
Microsoft is bringing its engineering-led Technical Takeoff back in March 2026, with new Intune-focused sessions streaming every Monday on Microsoft Tech Community and recordings posted shortly after. The event matters for IT admins because it offers direct access to Microsoft engineers through live Q&A, deep technical sessions, and feedback opportunities on areas like Zero Trust, endpoint security, and privilege management—helping teams sharpen deployment plans and stay aligned with the Intune roadmap.
Microsoft will host Tech Community Live: Intune Edition on January 26, 2026, featuring four live AMA sessions on endpoint security with Defender, app management, Zero Trust, and Copilot-driven endpoint management. The event matters because it gives IT admins direct access to Microsoft experts for practical guidance, real-world best practices, and a chance to share feedback that could shape future Intune development.
