Check Text (C-278801r1150878_chk)
Review configuration settings to confirm a managed photos app is installed on the iOS device.
This check procedure is performed on the iPhone and iPad.
On the iPhone and iPad:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap "General".
3. Tap "VPN & Device Management".
4. Tap the DOD Configuration Profile from the Apple iOS/iPadOS management tool.
5. Tap "Apps".
6. Verify a photo capture and management app is listed.
7. Verify the app is managed and stores photos as managed data.
If a photo capture and management app is installed on the iPhone and iPad and the app is not managed and does not store photos as managed data, this is a finding.
Note: The recommended app is Microsoft OneDrive. Refer to the DOD Mobility Unclassified Capability (DMUC) "iOS & iPadOS Microsoft OneDrive Photo and Video Capture Quick Reference Guide" for more information.
Note: If the Apple device camera is disabled (see AIOS-26-018100), with authorizing official (AO) approval, use the Apple iOS/iPadOS key "allowedCameraRestrictionBundleIDs" to enable an approved managed camera app.
