Share your deployment experiences with Android zero-touch enrollment
Hey everyone, In ‘5 Overlooked Benefits of Android Enterprise’, we touched on Android zero-touch enrollment, and it’s something many of you are actively using to streamline your device rollouts. For those in IT, Android zero-touch can be a powerful tool - see our handy guide to learn more. It’s about getting devices to your users ready to go, automatically enrolling in your EMM and pulling down all the right policies as soon as they connect. That means less hands-on time for your team and a smoother experience for end-users. We know real-world deployments always have their nuances, but it would be great to hear about your deployment experiences using zero-touch enrollment: Did you overcome any unexpected hurdles? What was the scale of your deployment - a few devices for new joiners, or hundreds for a company-wide refresh? If you could share one key tip or best practice for someone looking to nail their next zero-touch deployment, what would it be? We’re all here to learn from each other’s stories, and your insights are super valuable. I’m looking forward to reading your stories! Chat soon, Emilie
What OS rel. your Android fleet is running ?
I'm just curious to know how other corporates doing OS patching. We at SAP only allow 2 latest OS versions which means today we only support Android 14/13. Our Android fleet is approx. 10 000 devices. Mixed Samsung and Google Pixel, no other manufacturers allowed. 70% of our Pixel devices running already Android 14 11% of our Samsung devices running already Android 14 How about yours?Share your AI Success Story: Android Enterprise customer testimonials & quotes needed!
Hey everyone, I hope you are having a good week. AI is evolving fast, and we're curious how it's starting to shape your work on Android. Has your company embraced it wholeheartedly or are you finding people more reserved when implementing AI? As part of our end of year festival, we had a brilliant community post by BenMcc all about the hopes and pitfalls of AI so far (well worth the read if you haven’t already), and we’re keen to keep the conversation going - what do you think of his observations about ownership/accountability and the future of AI? Whether you're a seasoned AI user or just dipping your toes in, we'd love to hear your experiences—even if they're initial observations or pilot projects. We’re looking for real-world examples and specific, impactful quotes that can be featured across our channels (or we could just have a great conversation below! 😀). It would be particularly interesting in learn about: Specific AI Use Cases: How are you leveraging AI tools in your daily work on Android? Google AI Tools: Are you using Gemini for Google Workspace, Circle to Search, Gemini models, on-device AI tools on Pixel, or other AI tools? Organizational Impact: How has AI improved your productivity, reduced costs, or streamlined processes? For example: "Gemini for Google Workspace has saved our team [X] hours per week by automating [specific task]." "Circle to Search has improved our ability to [specific action] while on the field."

In today's workplace, making work devices accessible is not just good practice, it's essential. Almost half (45%) of employees with disabilities find the accessibility features of their workplace software barely adequate.1 The reality is that inaccessible workplace software creates a significant challenge for many employees, underscoring the gap in providing truly inclusive tools.

It covers key topics like: Supporting a range of visual needs with Android's adaptable vision features: From Braille Display support and the AI-powered Lookout app to TalkBack screen reader, Android offers a range of customizable visual tools. Helping teams amplify what matters at work with Android's hearing tools: Android provides audio features that adapt to a range of hearing needs, including Real-time text (RTT), Sound Amplifier, and seamless hearing aid integration (including the new LE audio support). Unlocking personalized control for employees with motor limitations: Support employees by providing tools that help them own their workday with personalized control such as, Gesture Navigation, Camera Switches, and Action Blocks.

illegal use of Android Enterprise and Google MDM services
How do I report someone abusing Android Enterprise/Google MDM services. I'm in desperate need of some help! I'm being stalked by my father in-law who is using these services to access and control my devices/accounts. Several times, I have contacted my local police department in attempt to file a report and each time being denied. I have also made a report on ic3.gov, called the FBI twice, went to the State Attorneys office, and contacted Samsung and my phone carrier (T Mobile) numerous times. All without any advice or attempt of offering some sort of resolution. This has and still is seriously affecting my life. I'm have never been so frustrated and felt so helpless in my entire life. I desperately need some advice/help!!
