iOS managed contacts - how to deal with that?
No one? 🙂
There must be oppinions out there.
- One option would be to turn off legacy authentication.
Configure Exchange Active Sync rules to only allow Active Sync for the default mail app on iPhone.
Turn off enterprise app user consent so that users can't add any third party apps.
Haven't tested this scenario thoughThijs Lecomte Hi and thank you for your reply.
My concerns are not about legacy or modern (by the way we disabled legacy authentication) but on how to deal with contacts.
Android is managing this one perfect:
- There is a managed contacts app with all the corporate exchange contacts of the user in it.
- The user can browse this contacts app or the native one and can dial a number right out of here.
- Third party apps like Whatsapp or others are not able to look into these managed contacts.
For iOS this must be possible, too, isn't it?
At the moment where the user enables the contact sync from the outlook for ios app, the contacts are going to be transfered throught the icloud into the native contacts app.
The Problem with this is, even if they're read-only, that 3rd party apps as mentioned before are able to see them.
We don't want to disable contact sync at all (because of caller-id for incoming calls) but 3rd party apps shouldn't be able to read them.
Did i stated this clearly? (Hopefully 🙂 )
- I understand your point. this might be possible with iOS User Enrollment, as this is the alternative for Work Profile. Have you checked this out?
I haven't tested this scenario though
