iOS Native VS Outlook
Hello, We are currently on Airwatch and iOS users use the Native Client, we are working on migrating to Intune (EMS+Security E5) and are getting some pushback about using the Outlook Client (Noti...
- Hi Daniel Schmidt,
You can't implement app protection policies on the native IoS app. Good articles to read are:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/app-protection-policy
https://www.systemcenterdudes.com/intune-ios-mail-outlook-app/
It is also more difficult in terms of support, as you are using a non-microsoft app for mail.
By using native mail app and not using app protection policies, users can download the organisations mail and data out of the native app onto the device and then potentially upload it to third party apps, possibly to competitors.

In other words, it facilitates data leakage and insider threats.
Hope that answers your question!

Great. Unfortunately, the outlook is draining the battery, which this specific application's consumption is alarming than all others in IoS. Also, the outlook occupied nearly 1.5gB space of my storage. The native application is just 11MB. As I am just a user of mobile phone, what is the advice, experts you are all going to give. Please advise.
Foretec I'd no such experience as described.
Yes, my Outlook for iOS App uses caching (in my case 270MB of the app itself, and 400MB of "documents & data".
What i didn't experience either is the battery drainage you described. In the overall battery summary for 10 days my outlook app is on rank #5 (nearly 2 hours in foreground and 26min in background.)
Can you state this clearer for all the others here? 🙂
