iMazing 3.1 Packs New Business e-Discovery and MDM Features, Enhanced Spyware Detection, and More.
We’re excited to launch this year’s first major iMazing release, including powerful new features for iMazing Business customers along with enhancements across the board. With an ambitious roadmap ahead, we’re set to deliver even more value and convenience, making iMazing the most versatile and efficient device management solution available.
iMazing Business: New e-discovery features and easier MDM migrations
Messages and WhatsApp PDF export now offers the ability to digitally sign exported PDFs. This feature enables authentication of the organization or person who exported the data while maintaining chain of custody compliance. The digital signature ensures data integrity and provides reliable verification of the export's source.
We’ve added RSMF support for Messages or WhatsApp conversations exports. RSMF (Relativity Short Message Format) is a standardized file format used for e-discovery to preserve, analyze and present short message conversations (learn more).
We've added two key MDM features for organizations using Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. These features help when enrolling new devices in MDM or migrating iOS and iPadOS device fleets between MDM providers while preserving data integrity. Both features ensure the iOS or iPadOS Setup Assistant displays the "Remote Management" screen for Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP):
New "Enroll in MDM" action in the device "Tools" section
This powerful new feature seamlessly enrolls devices to any MDM—whether for the first time or migrating from one MDM to another—with a simple action in iMazing.
New "Allow MDM enrollment via Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP)" option in the "Restore Backup" wizard
This functionality is also available in iMazing Configurator blueprints as "Prevent skipping Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP) when restoring backup," enabling bulk device MDM migration.
Additionally, we’ve also added a few new diagnostic commands and options to iMazing CLI, for our users who love iMazing from the command line.

iMazing Spyware Detection: Free feature, better than ever
Since 2021, iMazing has offered a free and easy-to-use spyware detection tool that lets users check their Apple mobile devices for possible signs of spyware directly from any Windows PC or Mac, building on the groundbreaking work on MVT from Amnesty International and Citizen Lab.
With iMazing 3.1, many new MVT detection modules have been added, including for Viber, Contacts, Shortcuts, TCC, and Location Services in addition to updating all existing detection modules with the latest changes.
