Summary:
The "Require approved client app" control in Microsoft Entra Conditional Access will retire in June 2026. Organizations should update policies to use the "Require application protection policy" control for equivalent and enhanced protection. After retirement, the old control will no longer be enforceable.
Details:
As mentioned in MC540749 and MC1029989, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory) and Microsoft Intune will retire the Conditional Access "Require approved client app" grant control in June 2026 (previously March 2026). We recommend utilizing the "Require application protection policy" grant control, which provides the same data loss and protection with additional benefits.
