We recently encountered a problem. When migrating data from an old mobile phone to a new iPhone device, there is a probability of data anomalies.
The specific scenario is: we deliver webclip (a shortcut to the Safari browser) to the iPhone 13 device through MDM, and we save the business token through localStorage (a data storage method provided by HTML5). When iPhone13 is migrated to the new iPhone15 through data migration (through "Quick Start"), the webclip is also synchronized. After many attempts, the strange thing is that the data stored in localStorage is sometimes synchronized, and sometimes the data stored is not synchronized.
This anomaly will cause us some trouble, so I would like to seek the following help
First, I want to know more about data migration (through "Quick Start") which data will be synchronized and which data will not be synchronized.
Second, how to avoid data migration and synchronize the data stored in localStorage to the new device
Third, is this a bug in the system? We can solve this problem by updating the system.
Does anyone have the same problem as me?

Details:
Device: iPhone 12 Pro Max
System: iOS 26.1 beta 2
Issue Description:
When testing MDM device restriction capabilities on iOS 26.1 beta 2, I found that the allowCamera restriction does not work as expected.
Observed Behavior:
• On a BYOD device:
When allowCamera is set to false, the Camera and FaceTime apps disappear from the Home Screen, as expected.
However, third-party apps (such as WeChat) can still access the camera and take photos.
• On earlier versions (e.g. iOS 26.0.1):
Setting allowCamera to false correctly blocks all apps, including third-party apps, from accessing the camera.
Initially, I assumed Apple might have changed this restriction behavior so that allowCamera only applies to supervised devices.
However, after testing on supervised devices, I found that even there, when allowCamera is set to false, the Camera and FaceTime apps are hidden, but third-party apps can still use the camera.
This indicates that the restriction is not functioning correctly in iOS 26.1 beta 2.
Expectation:
When allowCamera is set to false, all camera access — including third-party apps — should be blocked.
Request:
Could someone from Apple’s development or MDM team confirm whether this is an expected behavior change or a potential bug in iOS 26.1 beta 2?
