It perplexes me that people choose to use a platform which won't let even let them choose how a browser works.
Main problem is that Android sucks too. The mobile OS market is a burning dumpster fire controlled by two of the biggest companies in the world.
My point is I use arch btw and I'd like to do so on my phone as well. (With it still being practical)
Android is far more free than iOS, and it's based on open source so pretty easy to remove all Google stuff if you care about it. But by default you can side load whatever you want.
That's true and pretty cool and I will always choose Android over iOS, but it's still a bad system. I want a phone architecture where I can just slap an OS on there like it's a PC and upgrade to new versions until the hardware craps out. But I can't
For me, iOS works substantially better at my employer. At the end of the day, it’s better for some enterprise integration. I wish it was different, but this is probably true for many. EDIT: I’d choose Android if my employer supported it enough to do my job effectively. :(
I found the opposite I love the way the work profile functions on Android. It's logically separated (even to the point you can have VPN setup for just work apps) and you can enable and disable all work apps from a quick settings tile as well as schedule it to turn on and off at certain times.
Oh 100%, I look at it with envy when I see reviews lol. My work doesn’t have an MDM implementation that’s compatible with that on Android. I took some inspiration from it on my iOS focus modes but it’s not the same. The way my employer has it setup, the calendar and email only work through specific apps on Android instead of device intention like native calendar and email, which inhibits push and exchange. “The shitty boxer app didn’t notify me” isn’t a good enough excuse :/ … okay end of complaining.
That sucks you guys can't get an mdm up and going but it's not free I don't believe so it makes sense for smaller companies. I think there is a way to do a sort of homebrew work profile using Tasker or similar automation app to control it.
