Hi, we’ve been using kiosk mode on a bunch of our Android devices, mostly for single-app workflows. Right now, whenever we need to take a device out of kiosk (for troubleshooting or updates), we’re doing it manually. Is automating the disabling of kiosk mode actually a thing people rely on?

Use keyboard for Android Remote Control

It would be beneficial if users could use their computer keyboards to type remotely on the device, rather than having to click on the virtual keyboard. This feature would allow me, and likely many other users, to stop using TeamViewer and consider upgrading to Ultimate.

Different Lock- and homescreen wallpapers

Hi,   Is it possible to assign a different wallpaper to the lock screen than the one for the homescreen from the MDM? If not, is it possible to request the feature, because I am currently doing it by hand and that goes right until there is a policy update.
