Outlook iOS/Android - Intune App Protecton policy (Block dictation)
Does anyone know if it's possible to block dictation using app protection or is this a platform based with enrollment policy setting only? Thanks

There is currently no way to block is through APP.
I am wondering what the reasoning behind this request is?
Why would you want to block this?

Thijs Lecomte From a data protection and GDPR viewpoint. Microsoft dicatation is ok as we know where our data is located and protected etc but not so ref Apple and Android. It looks as though you can block this with an Intune policy if the mobile is enrolled but this seems to be a gap with BYOD and APP unless this could be acheived via work profile on the users device?
- Thijs LecomteJun 01, 2020Bronze ContributorThis is something that could be solved by Android Work Profiles/iOS User Enrollment.
They require enrollment of the device but provide more features for managing it.- PaulMcDJun 01, 2020Copper Contributor
Thijs Lecomte Thanks for the steer. Would that allow us just to manage the work profile from a sandbox perspective and not the run the risk of a remote wipe for the full device i.e with the end users personal apps/data etc?
- Thijs LecomteJun 01, 2020Bronze ContributorYes this is entirely possible. These don't allow the full wipe of a device.
Check out the following documentation:

I don't know on the top of my head if this supports disabling of dication though
