Android policies in the personal side
As described in device management modes, Android 11:
- deprecates the fully managed device with a work profile, to protect user privacy on company devices that enable personal usage
- provides a new work profile on company-owned device, which offers greater privacy to the end user and at the same time offer sufficient level of control to the IT admin to protect corporate assets
This page summarizes the Android policies that can and can't be applied to the personal side of company-owned devices with Android 11. For complete details, see Google's EMM migration guidelines > Appendix A and B (requires partner login).
