The mobileconfig file extension is used by Apple for iPhone and iPod Touch devices. These files customize device configurations that can be switched when needed. They also provide access to certain services.
IT administrators can open, edit, and create mobileconfig files using Apple Configurator 2 on macOS. To install a mobileconfig file on an iOS device: Download the file to your device. Open Settings app and select Profile Downloaded to see a description and confirm the download.
Programs that support opening mobileconfig files include iPhone Configuration Utility for Windows. The file extension indicates to your device which app can open the file. Different programs may use this file type for different data types.
Mobileconfig files are usually hosted on a remote profile service. This communicates with Apple devices to configure and save settings. The files can be digitally signed for secure transmission. We provide information on how to open or convert mobileconfig files.
