This article explains the procedure to auto launch an application on the device on boot (in general refers to device reboot, restart).

  • Login to AMGuard console with your credentials
  • From left navigation menu, click on "Policy Groups"
  • Notice the list of default policies along with the policies you have created (if) to meet business needs.

  • Choose a  desired policy to enable the feature. Make a note that, this feature is available only for Kiosk & Work Managed policies
  • For this article, as an example we are using "Alabama Users" group which is Kiosk policy.
  • Click on policy group name to go into policy details.

  • By default "General" restrictions are shown. Scroll down to "Advance"

  • Notice "Enable App Launch on Boot" restriction which is disabled by default.

Note : Before adding the application to auto launch, make sure the app is available on the device. Refer to our article to know how to add custom/enterprise apps and play store apps.

  • Enable the restriction and provide below details of the application to launch on device boot/reboot/restart.
    • App Name
    • App ID (Package Name)
  • In this article, as an example, we are adding "Voice Assistant" application to auto launch on a Samsung device.

  • Click "Save and Continue" to reflect the changes on device.
  • Once the policy syncs with the device, application mentioned in the policy will be auto launched after device boot/reboot/restart.
