So iOS is essentially unprofessional. A toy for those who have either no job or no private life. How does Android score in that respect?

Well, aint no way I'm working with a realtor over green bubbles, and they probably have two phones.

It's been a while, but at a previous job (maybe 8 years ago) I was responsible for managing mobile devices and using Blackberry's MDM suite, you could have segregation of personal and private data, where you couldn't move data from one "container" to the other, including clipboard data. I'm out of the loop now, though. Android did have better support at the time, but if I remember correctly, devices that had a work managed profile on them could still be completely wiped, including the personal/private container. A bit of a pain, but I've always preferred (where possible) to have separate work and personal devices.

  Yeah, I had an Android phone at work with separate personal/work profiles, but using the phone to begin with required one main account that had to be my personal. Might've been possible to remove after, but I was afraid to mess with it. Wouldn't want one phone to be both personal and work though. They owned it, idk if I could've put my own sim in without unforeseen issues, it could've been wiped like you said, and it ofc got wiped when I quit.

  > devices that had a work managed profile on them could still be completely wiped No, personally-owned devices with a work profile cannot be wiped remotely using mdm. But company-owned with our without personal profile can be wiped by a mdm.

You can have multiple users on a single device. https://source.android.com/docs/devices/admin/multi-user https://source.android.com/docs/devices/admin/multi-user Either with a single local account that accesses multiple Google accounts, or multiple local accounts. Though this is device specific, it may be disabled by your manufacturer/provider. As mentioned elsewhere though, an enrolled phone is an enrolled phone so corporate wiping will wipe the entire phone and not just the profile.

  Not true - you can do full MDM type enrolment or just the one where t can wipe the work part of the phone. On Android and iOS

    > and iOS I'm pretty sure this is a thread about how you can't do things like that on iOS. Regardless, its been a long time since I've had to use a personal device for work purposes and at the time Android seemed to only want to lock the entire phone down. If that is now fixed them thats great.
