I think that's good advice for everyone. I tell new hires we own your phone when you add any of our accounts to it and recommend using work devices for anything work related if privacy means anything to them. Some listen, some listen later when they get wiped because they clicked a phishing email and IR has decided a purging fire is necessary.
- helij 3y agoHow does adding Slack and Outlook for example makes a company own your phone?
- dragonwriter 3y agoIt doesn’t literally, but many companies have policies that use of comopany accounts on devices is consent to physical inspection of the device, data on the device, and other things as determined necessary by the compnay for legal, security, compliance, or other reasons, making ownership a useful cautionary metaphor.
- m463 3y agoUsed to be when leaving a company (voluntarily or not) if you had some company apps on your (personal) phone they could wipe the device. I personally don't think people should put work apps on their personal phone ever.
- helij 3y agoI am finding it hard understanding how this can be done if you have work email and Slack apps installed on your phone.
- lukeschlather 3y agoOutlook and Slack typically require you to enroll in your company's MDM which gives administrators the ability to remote-wipe your phone. You can see this if you read the fine print when you sign in.
- helij 3y agoI guess if your iPhone is not signed in in 'work or school account' then a company can't remote-wipe your phone?
