Fully agree. No employer shall tell me what to install on my private phone.
Come to think of it this might be a really good reason to get an obscure phone (PinePhone?) as your personal phone so they can't do this.
"Yeah, this is my phone, sorry, your app won't work with it"
But regardless, employers should provide a work phone if they want an app installed, and the work phone should NOT have to be carried around 24/7 unless it's an on-call rotation, and in which case the rotation duty cycle should be limited to a reasonable number e.g. 10% or less.
