Could not find this info in the articles or tweet.
- paxys 6y agoI don't think any mid-large company allows 2 anymore. Access to company resources always comes with an MDM policy.
- codegladiator 6y agoYou are wrong to think that. I wish I could name the companies.
- sdoering 6y agoI know some. And I know others with MDM - but without policies regarding installation of apps.

- btashton 6y agoI don't get why people are OK with a company being able to wipe a personal device on a whim. If you want full control of my mobile, then provide a mobile.
- advisedwang 6y agoMany companies make MDM mandatory and refuse to pay for a phone. Most people will just comply rather than have _no mobile access_ to their work email at all (which will cause conflict with managers, and may even lose you a job)
- ehsankia 6y agoMy understanding is that they can only wipe the work profile. Is that not true? (Android).
- khuey 6y agoIf you're using the Android MDM thing on a personal device it only wipes the work profile.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoIn work profile mode this is absolutely correct. In other modes (COBO, COPE) it's not but those are much more difficult to enrol, as you have to do it from the setup wizard on a new phone or after a factory reset. So you don't happen to get into this mode by accident. They're only used for company owned phones (this is what the CO part stands for).
- scarface74 6y agoEverything on my phone is automatically backed up. Whether I would accept the tradeoff of them being able to remotely wipe my phone or wanting to carry two devices is up in the air.
- moneil971 6y agoMany companies do provide a mobile, but then your choice is to carry 2 devices, or let your company control the only device you carry and use all day for personal communication. I chose the former but even that’s not ideal
- GekkePrutser 6y agoIn Work Profile mode they absolutely can't do that. They can only remove the work profile side and all apps and data contained therein. Not the personal side. Of course most companies provide phones, but many users prefer to use their own, both for the benefit of having to carry only one, and because they have more choice. Another big benefit of work profile is that you can switch all work stuff and notifications off with one click! I really like it overall, it gives great separation.
- ehsankia 6y agoI think #2 can require MDM still, but one let's them control the entire device, whereas #3 limits them to a section of your phone dedicated to work.
- nvr219 6y agoThey're devices that are under Amazon's MDM. So if the device was enrolled with their MDM then it applies.

- SteveNuts 6y agoI'm surprised devices enrolled in their MDM would have EVER allowed Tik Tok in the first place.
- sdoering 6y agoBelieve me - a lot of companies roll MDM just to be able to remotely wipe the device in case it gets lost. A lot of them do not block apps (or remove them).
- koolba 6y agoCan one do this as an individual as well?
- Nextgrid 6y agoFor iOS you can use Apple Configurator for profile-based M2M. For remote management you need a server-based solution and I believe there's an open-source implementation of that out there.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoYep it's called MicroMDM. https://micromdm.io/ https://micromdm.io/ Only supports Apple though! Not Android.
