External Release Notes: iOS Mobile App for Intune v 9.12 (October 28, 2026)
New Features and Improvements
AI Assistant Suggestion in Search
When a multi-word query is entered in the search bar of the listing view, the app now detects whether the query is better suited to the AI Assistant than to a file search. If so, an Ask Assistant suggestion is displayed. Selecting it opens the AI Assistant with the query pre-populated. Single-word queries are not evaluated, and if detection is unavailable the search continues as usual. Users without access to the AI Assistant do not see the suggestion.
Background Color Switch in AutoCAD File Preview
A new button in the preview of BIM files (DWG, DXF, DGN) allows users to switch the background color between light and dark. This makes it easier to view drawings with dark lines, which were difficult to read against the previous dark background. The preview component has also been updated to its latest version.
Excel Preview as a Continuous Canvas
Excel files now open in the preview as a single, continuous canvas instead of a paginated view. Users can scroll up, down, left, and right through the full sheet, and table rows and columns remain visually connected.
Upload Improvements
The upload framework has been updated to improve the reliability and maintainability of file uploads in the app. No change to the upload experience is expected.
Mobile Device Entitlement for Managed Apps
Egnyte for Intune now supports delivery of the Mobile Device Entitlement token through an Intune App Configuration Policy for Managed apps. The token is passed to the app through the Intune SDK when users enroll in Intune as part of the Egnyte for Intune login flow. This works on both managed and BYOD devices and does not require Company Portal or MDM enrollment. Because the policy delivers the token only to Egnyte for Intune, administrators can use Mobile Device Entitlement to allow Egnyte for Intune while restricting sign-in from the regular Egnyte iOS app, which does not receive the token.
Issues Addressed
Repeated Photo Access Prompt with Limited Photo Access
Users with Smart Upload enabled and Limited photo access granted to the app saw the system photo permission dialog on every app launch. The app no longer displays this dialog on launch. Smart Upload continues to process the photos the user has already granted access to, and users can change their photo selection in iOS Settings.
