iMazing Business 3.1 Adds New E-Discovery and MDM Features

iMazing has launched iMazing Business 3.1 on February 19, 2025, offering enhanced features for enterprise users, including advanced e-discovery capabilities and improved Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionalities.

Driving the news

iMazing Business 3.1, the first major iMazing release of the year, introduces key updates focused on streamlining iOS device management and data extraction for business environments.

Advanced E-Discovery Capabilities:

• New PDF signing feature for Messages and WhatsApp exports, ensuring authentication and maintaining chain of custody compliance.
• Added support for RSMF (Relativity Short Message Format) exports, standardizing short message conversations for e-discovery purposes.

Improved MDM Integration:

For organizations using Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, two new MDM features have been integrated:

• New “Enroll in MDM” action in the device “Tools” section: This feature seamlessly enrolls devices to any MDM—whether for the first time or migrating from one MDM to another—with a simple action in iMazing.
• “Allow MDM enrollment via Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP)” option in the “Restore Backup” wizard: This functionality facilitates bulk device MDM migration by ensuring the iOS or iPadOS Setup Assistant displays the “Remote Management” screen for Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP). It is also available in iMazing Configurator blueprints as “Prevent skipping Automated Device Enrollment (ADE/DEP) when restoring backup,” enabling efficient bulk migrations

Enhanced Spyware Detection:

• Added new MVT (Mobile Verification Toolkit) detection modules for Viber, Contacts, Shortcuts, TCC, and Location Services.
• Updated existing detection modules with the latest changes, improving overall spyware detection capabilities.
• iMazing has offered a free and easy-to-use spyware detection tool since 20211.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Enhancements:

• New diagnostic commands and options added to iMazing CLI, including device log exports, process listing, and PDF signing capabilities.

Best practices for leveraging iMazing Business 3.1

Utilize the CLI for automation:

• Implement batch scripts using the new CLI commands to automate routine tasks like log exports and device diagnostics.
• Use the –device-export-unified-logs and –device-export-sysdiagnose commands for comprehensive device troubleshooting.

Optimize e-discovery processes:

• Leverage the new PDF signing feature to maintain a clear chain of custody for exported communications.
• Utilize RSMF exports for standardized presentation of message data in legal proceedings.

Streamline MDM migrations:

• Use the new “Enroll in MDM” action when transitioning devices between MDM providers to ensure a smooth transfer process.
• Implement the “Allow MDM enrollment via ADE/DEP” option in backup restoration workflows to maintain MDM enrollment during device resets.

Enhance security measures:

• Regularly use the updated spyware detection tool to scan devices for potential security threats.
• Utilize the new MVT modules to perform more comprehensive device security audits.

Leverage iMazing Configurator for bulk operations:

• Use blueprints in iMazing Configurator to apply consistent configurations across multiple devices.
• Utilize the improved pre-configuration actions for more efficient device setup processes.
