# iOS, iPad OS, tvOS, & visionOS Check-In

### How is MDM communication instant?

MDM servers send a particular type of notification to request managed devices to "Check in" with their MDM server. As part of Apple Push Notification service (APNs), Apple devices constantly poll Apple Push Notification service for **Notifications**. This results in near-instant management of online devices; as such, there is no defined "Check-in" time for MDM commands.
