Learn about the Safari Extensions Library Item in iOS and iPadOS 18
What are Safari Extensions?
Safari extensions in iOS and iPadOS 18 are designed to enhance the Safari browser by allowing users to customize their browsing experience. These extensions can help with tasks such as blocking ads, managing passwords, and enhancing privacy. With Kandji, admins have the ability to manage whether Safari extensions are allowed or restricted across their mobile device fleet. Additionally, they can determine which domains are permitted or blocked for extension installations.
This Library Item requires supervision.

- When configuring specific extensions, the app containing the extension must be installed separately via an Apps and Books Library Item.
- Please contact the software developer to find an extension's Bundle ID and Team ID.
