[Action needed] Policy setting default change: EnterpriseDisplayNameVisibility

Date posted: 19th December 2025

 

Description: 

A new policy setting, first introduced in May 2025, now allows administrators to control the visibility of the EnterpriseDisplayName on the device (eg. on your lock screen). 

 

We want to make you aware that the default behaviour of this policy setting if left UNSPECIFIED, is changing:

 

To maintain a hidden state, you must update your policy configuration:

• Required action (if UNSPECIFIED): Explicitly set the policy value ENTERPRISE_DISPLAY_NAME_HIDDEN.
• If no action is taken, devices relying on the old default will begin displaying the enterprise name. 

 

This change is currently scheduled to come into effect from 9th February 2026 [please note this date is subject to change and we will keep you updated if this date changes at all]. 

 

Thank you,

Android Enterprise Team
