Hi All! I currently have a system that I need to block alerts from messaging apps such as iMessage (Apple) and Message+ (Android).
I've looked through teh Firewall on the access points and security appliance but cant figure it out. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Layer 7 Firewall rules on the MR and MX will not be capable of blocking these messages for this use case. As @DCooper has already stated, have a look into Systems Manager where you'll be able to apply profiles to IOS devices to stop these messages/notifications. - https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
Even better is Meraki allow you to create a Free Systems Manager network and try out the paid feature version for 30 days!
Have you tried using systems manager? We have restrictions within that product to turn it off. As it pertains to iOS It does have to be a supervised device via DEP or Apple Configurator.

Seems to be some good info there, it is a little old. I would persoanlly go the SM route, blocking ports that iMessage uses could interfere with other traffic.
