Anyone enforcing Face ID for Outlook on iPhones using Hexnode?

Hi everyone,  We’ve been tightening access to corporate email on our iOS devices, especially for users handling sensitive data.  Right now, once the device is unlocked, Outlook opens without any additional checks. We’re trying to see if there’s a way to require Face ID before users can access their mailbox.  Has anyone set this up using Hexnode?

How to restrict access to corporate apps based on office location and working hours

Hi everyone, we manage a few sensitive applications such as our internal CRM and finance tools through Hexnode. The leadership team wants to ensure these apps can only be accessed from the office and only during working hours.  For example, if someone tries to open the CRM from home or late at night, the app…

Preventing users from bypassing location-based restrictions in Hexnode

Hi everyone, we’re planning to use geofencing in Hexnode so that certain internal apps only work when devices are inside the office.  One concern from our security team is that users could spoof their GPS location or disable location services and bypass the restriction.  Has anyone implemented this before? How do you make sure the geofence rule isn’t easily…

Wi-Fi switching option grayed out in Android Kiosk mode. Am I missing something?

Hi everyone,  We’re managing a few Android devices in Multi-App Kiosk Mode, and I noticed something odd while configuring the policy.  In Peripheral Settings, the option that allows users to manage Wi-Fi settings is grayed out, so users can’t manually switch networks on the device. This becomes a bit of an issue when the device struggles to roam between different access points.  I tried editing the policy…

Users can’t switch between W-Fi access points on managed Android devices

Hi, I’m experiencing issues with devices connected to my client’s Wi-Fi. The network has multiple access points with the same SSID and password.   Several users have reported that when they move between different areas of the building, their connection becomes weak or unstable. They’re unable to manually switch to a stronger access point.  I want users to manage Wi-Fi directly from the pull-down menu when needed. How…

Android phones going into Safe Mode

Hey everyone. Recently, we noticed a few of our managed Android phones going into Safe Mode after users restarted them on their own. Once the device was in safe mode, managed apps stopped working, and our restrictions weren’t enforced until the phone was rebooted normally.  Has anyone found a way to stop users from entering safe mode on managed devices?
