The previously unreported letter - sent on Dec. This makes sure the app isn`t shown in the Play Store.Apple and Google’s continued hosting of TikTok on their app stores, despite US national security concerns about the short-form video app, reflects the tech giants’ “gatekeeper” power and should be made part of any antitrust reviews the app stores may face, a member of the Federal Communications Commission wrote to the Justice Department last week. This configuration is only applicable for Fully Managed devices where access to the public Play Store is allowed and probably will be applicable for Android COPE devices.Īn app like TikTok can be blocked on an Android device by assigning the app as Uninstall. Same for the Work Profile section on a personal device.
If you only allow corporate work apps on a Fully Managed device, there is no need to use this configuration as the public Play Store cannot be accessed to download personal apps. On Android at the moment of writing we have two management solutions, Fully Managed and Work Profile (Corporate Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) is coming in Preview very soon). To write this post, I used the popular mobile app TikTok. On Android, we do have a way to block the installation of the app on a mobile device. On iOS we don`t have an option to block the installation of an app, we need to use a Compliance Policy, to block access to corporate data as soon as a restricted app is installed. With Microsoft Intune (Endpoint Manager) we have the possibility to block such apps on iOS and Android.įor both operating systems we need to use another approach.
Whatever the reason is, it might be a reason for companies to block the app on the end-users device which has access to corporate access. Encryption isn`t in place, the Chinese government might be using the app to spy on the whole world or whatever other reason. Every now and then there is bad about a (mobile) app in the news, because of all kinds of reasons.
