Security News > 2020 > September > Google Reveals Work Profile Privacy Features in Android 11
Roid 11 is the seventh operating system release to include enterprise features since the introduction of the work profile in 2014 to separate work data on employees' personal devices.
The new platform iteration, Google says, brings the work profile privacy protections to enterprise-issued devices.
"We've also enhanced our agreements with device manufacturers to help ensure all work profile privacy protections are reliably enforced," Google says.
The separation of work and personal data was taken a step further in Android 11 with separate tabs being shown for work and personal when sharing files, opening content, or accessing the settings menu.
Now, it's easier to pause the work profile to disconnect at the end of the day, through removing unwanted distractions and allowing employees to set a schedule for work apps to be automatically paused.
