Nope, Fleet does not currently manage phones. We discuss and talk about Android support in the future (though think iPad/iPhone management might come to Fleet before due to ABM/DDM). There are no dates or plans at this time.

12/08/2023, 5:52 AM@Grant Bilstad I was here just to learn more about the iPhone support. After Profile Manager being shut down, there is no selfhostable and payable MDM solution on the market. We have about 20 devices and I really don’t want to give away the control of the devices to another third party. It would make me a paying customer of fleet, if it’s not much more than 3-5€ a month per device. So please consider it more. In my opinion there is a big market, especially considering GDPR in Europe should favor selfhosted solutions or solutions that can be hosted in Europe alone.

And to push profiles, proconfigured with Apple Configurator 2 as files, so you don’t need to build all of if. Maybe groups of devices would make it easy to push this profile only to certain devices. :)
