  • Factory reset the device, with or without Android Factory Reset protection, on Android Enterprise Work Managed and Corporate Personal.
  • Lock the Android device on Android Classic, Android Enterprise Work Managed, Work Profile and Corporate Personal.

Android 14 Feature Support on Android Enterprise

Users will now be able to leverage Android 14 Enterprise features via scripts for devices enrolled as Android Enterprise Work Managed and Corporate Personal.
