Android device management agents FAQ

If you're an admin using advanced mobile management in your organization, what you can control on a user's Android device depends on the management app of the device. The management app is an agent, which gives your organization access to device information and settings.

In September 2019, Google rolled out a new Android management app called Android Device Policy. This app replaced the legacy Google Apps Device Policy, which is no longer supported. Android Device Policy offers new features and changes how some existing features behave. To switch to Android Device Policy, users must have an Android 6.0 Marshmallow or later device that supports a work profile. 

As of March 19, 2022, Google Apps Device Policy app is not supported. Learn to identify devices still using this agent.
