@bharti1990 Thanks very much for your question!

I looked into this, and to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to alter your device into Supervised/UnSupervised mode programmatically. These are controls that you typically would implement using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) provider or using the Apple Configurator macOS app.

Here is a [link](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mdm/mdm54960f92a/web) that gives you more information on it.

I hope this helps!

All the best. 🙂

Hi @bharti1990,  
The supervised mode is basically called your Managed Device and that is achieved via setting a Provisioning Profile on the device that allows or disallows certain features.

In enterprises this profile is distributed from a MDM solution via the server and if you want to simply manage a device or a smaller number manually, you can use the Apple configurator and set the restrictions, etc.

There is another option to set the device to a managed setting for children as outlined at [Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304)

Lastly, another option to restrict a device is the Guided Access mode.

Setting any of this programatically using Swift or any other language is not possible.

cheers,
