Introduction to ProSurf Browser for iOS

ProSurf Browser for iOS is a customized browser that can be used to provide a secure and restricted browsing experience. It can be used like a Kiosk Browser when set in Single App Mode or dynamically set to run in Single App Mode using ASAM or to simply provide a customized browsing experience. 

Although iOS devices come pre-loaded with Safari, there are limited options to control it via MDM. This is where ProSurf adds value by giving you a wide range of options to meet your organizational needs. Some of the salient features are,

• Disable the Address bar & Navigation bar and hide the Notification bar.
• Allow unlimited URLs and set custom properties for these urls.
• Set ProSurf to run in Single App Mode and set a URL as the default URL.
• Integrated File Viewers for downloaded files.
• Set Triggers so that ProSurf can dynamically enter/exit out of Single App Mode.
• Javascript API to programmatically enter/exit single app mode from your website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Can I have both Safari and ProSurf enabled on my devices?

Answer: Yes, you can. However, having both of them enabled does not add much value, and in some cases, the settings may conflict. We would suggest using one browser at a time.

Question: Does ProSurf or Scalefusion collect any personal data like usernames, passwords, location, or read the website content?

Answer: No. We do not collect any personal data, including usernames, passwords, or location history. In the future, we do intend to collect information related to the page load times and/or browsing history as an Opt-In feature so that we can share those analytics only with you.
