About this app

Android Device Policy helps your IT admin keep your organisation's data secure. Your admin can use the app to manage security policies and settings. Use the Android Enterprise demo (https://android.com/enterprise/demo) to generate a demo code.

Android Device Policy offers:
• Easy enrolment
• Access to managed Google Play
• Access to email and work resources

Developers, use the Android Management API (https://g.co/dev/androidmanagement) to manage devices with Android Device Policy.

Permissions notice
• Camera: optionally used to scan QR codes for enterprise enrolment
• Contacts: used to add your work account to the device, required for access to managed Google Play
• Phone: used for device registration, to report device identifiers to your IT admin
• Location: used to query available Wi-Fi networks, to align with IT policy and offer a new network if current configuration is broken
You can opt out of optional permission requests and still use the app.

Ratings and reviews

Nice idea but a failure. 1. Takes up too much of phone memory, drains battery quickly. 2. Account automatically signs out regularly. There is no way I can sign in again as it keeps loading but never loads. 3. Shows update notifications and creates problems when not updated. But stops midway while updating. Had to delete work profile to do so. 4. Can't upload files to Mail or Drive directly from phone. Had to install separate work Chrome in order to do so. 5. Doesn't show dowloaded files anywhere

UPDATE FROM ≥ WEEK AGO: I tried to uninstall cuz I didn't like what I read in reviews. Having same problem of unable to uninstall. Worse yet, Google Play webpage won't stop running the 'busy' spinning circle icon, indicating that the page is locked. As problem is, inter alia, Google Play servers cuz I close out the app and clear the cashe, as well as force stop and restart it, only to find same problem running the 'busy' icon! Pathetic, this n # of problems with these Pixel 8 Pro phone!

App got stuck. I tried to uninstall so I can reinstall. Now it's just stuck uninstalling in a loop and won't let me reinstall at all. I even tried to restart my phone and that didn't work. I notice in the reviews many others have the same issue. I messaged the developers and got no response.
