Amazon says email banning TikTok from employee phones was ‘sent in error’

Depends on the jurisdiction. In Germany they do. Labor rights explicitly says that your employer needs to provide the means for you to do your work. And that includes mobile phones if they want you to access your work email (or whatever) from a mobile device.

Yes they do... The problem is some users in Germany actually prefer to use their personal one so they don't have to carry two.. But due to this mindset they can't.

I don't think the German approach is always the best.

Sorry for the late reply. I use only one. I have a dual SIM phone with a clear separation.

So I call private contacts from private SIM, business contacts from business SIM. I have Apps separated into business and private and the respective profiles are in place. Business partition (so to speak) is managed by employer. Private partition is MDMed by myself.

So I have both worlds - in one device. If my employer decides to delete the business partition. I have exactly no problem with that (we tested it and it worked like a charm - private data wasn't affected. We also tested access to private data being nil).
