Getting Started with Fire OS Device Management
Fire OS is an operating system based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) that runs on Amazon’s Fire tablets and phones. Though it is built on AOSP, Fire OS differs from Android and is widely used by organizations. You can enroll Amazon Fire tablets, phones and e-readers in Hexnode UEM to manage them all from a single console. Hexnode provides numerous Android-based functionalities that can be delivered across Fire OS devices as well. Let’s kick start with Fire OS device management.
Fire TV Stick is not supported in Hexnode.
