As someone with a work phone, it’s easy for me to absolutely never use the thing. It stays in the office and I remote into my work machine and log into Google messages if I need to check for text. The rest is either accessible from other means or can wait until I’m in the office
This is a rage bait headline for the masses who don’t understand what it means to have a work-issued phone.
Not really. It's still a massive security threat, even if you leave it in the office.
I suppose for some people it could be a security threat to leave their phone unattended, but if the office isn’t secure, none of their data is necessarily secure with physical access
...do you know what conversation you just jumped into? You seem...lost.
Yeah. I started it
Well I wasn't talking about the phone being stolen as the threat. The phone is the threat.
Came here to say this.
Work phone for work use (they can load any and everything they want, not my phone)
Personal phone is mine and I control what is installed
