@Saad Farooq Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Based on my understanding, "mobile only" means that these settings only apply on windows phone devices. It is not related to MAM.

From intune's point of view, MAM means that intune only manage apps and intune doesn't manage devices. So, if the device is not managed by intune, we can't deploy a device restriction policy.

Hope it will clarify something.

Hi @Lu Dai-MSFT Thanks for sharing your valuable response just one more thing if we check from Android, iOS intune they have separate configuration profiles so the above settings make it confusing what is the purpose of the above mobile-only setting under Windows Device Restriction Template? Based on your response what I understood that the above settings mobile-only is only applicable for Microsoft Windows Mobile only not for another platform like Andriod/iOS? Please confirm
