Network Slicing
For iOS version 17 and later, the ability to assign specific network slices to managed apps on their provider’s 5G Standalone network is offered to organizations. This ability causes all traffic for a designated managed app to be routed to the slice identified by a specified data network name (DNN). The iOS Devices with iOS 18 and later have the ability for a designated managed app to be routed to the slice identified by an App Category.
