Bruh, I have no idea how people can put up with their employer being able control their device. Like... the employer can freak out about some perceived "security breach" and decide to wipe everyone's phone and you lose all your data like photos. Also, their employer can see if they are shit talking about the employer or mangement people, and it's a terrible idea if they want to unionize.
As an IT guy that manages MDMs, no we cannot see communications on the device
As another guy that does, yeah we can push ediscovery apps to the phone and pull all kinds of data
Something I've been dying to ask an industry expert. If your users setup a second user profile on android , and exclusively uses the second profile for work-related apps (assume full control), can you see the contents of the first (unrelated) user profile?
My work phone battery lasts for like 5-6 days because I only have Slack, MFA app, and outlook on it. It's crazy to use it for personal use
They are okay with it because it isn't their phone. It's a free phone that comes with the job.
"Free"
hmm I rather not... like its not just "privacy" you'd have to worry about, there can be potentially a rogue employee of the company just stealing all your bank info and possibly steal your identity. Might be a "free" phone, but there's just much more risks than just getting a cheap android phone. People don't think this though and only think about the "free". Dealing with identity theft is not fun. If only people understand the risks... 🤦♂️
Don't put personal stuff on your work phone. Use your own phone for that. If you have trouble carrying both, hit the gym.
Yea exactly. I would just carry 2 phones, but I'm just saying: I don't understand how other people just use their work phone for personal use simply because it's "free"
Obviously they are less concerned about things you are quite concerned about. I'm sure there are things that concern them and that you don't give a shit about.
Yes it's just a terrible idea. People do all sorts of dumb things though.
