Google Workspace Changes

Streamlined account setup for user-owned devices running Android 5.x (Lollipop).

The account setup flow for user-owned devices running Android 5.x (Lollipop) has been streamlined. Employees no longer need to manually install the Google Apps Device Policy app from the Play for Work store; the app will now be automatically installed and activated during setup.

Easier setup and management for company-owned devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).

Google has introduced a new option in the Admin console to manage company-owned devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). When enabled, the Google Apps Device Policy app is automatically installed, allowing for full device management (MDM) and application management (MAM). Admins can now require passwords, remotely wipe company information, approve apps, and restrict wireless/network settings, sharing settings, and factory resets.
