Iru Self Service for iOS and iPadOS will begin rolling out globally on June 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM PDT as an update to the existing Kandji Self Service app. Iru Self Service will show as Iru on the Home Screen. The bundle ID remains io.kandji.Self-Service-Mobile.
Ask questions about enrollments, Blueprint changes, compliance actions, and more — things like "how many devices were enrolled yesterday?" now just work.
The Actions table now splits the previous single "Team" column into distinct Owner and Delegate columns, so it's clear at a glance who's responsible for driving each action versus who's supporting.
App inventory and usage information is now able to be sent from Iru to ServiceNow for customers licensed for SAM Pro.
For more details, consult our product documentation.
A new AD CS connector is now available for Iru tenants.
