If your employer requires you to have a phone for official use, keep it separate from your personal phone; different device, different number, different networks if possible (ie: only let it join your home's guest network). Don't do personal things on your work devices, including logging into personal services, social networks or communication tools.

Microsoft does the same crap with Office 365’s apps that support both a personal and corporate account. I have to authenticate with my company if I want to use outlook to access my personal account. If you have multiple accounts, and one is corporate, your IT team can enable enterprise privacy crap that sits on top of the entire client, including personal accounts.

The obvious workaround is to not use outlook for personal email, but still, WTF.

Every company tries to get people to use personal phones. It takes some gumption to refuse.

I mean…they could have just said no and used a company phone, right? What am I missing? This just seems like they were telling people they could have their personal phone serve as a work phone as long as it was an iPhone because Apple is confident they can put their software on it for remote management.

If someone working for Apple didn’t know they are giving up some privacy by using their personal phone as a company managed work phone, then I’m not sure what they’ve learned in their tech career. I just worked at the Genius Bar as a college kid, and even I understood that—thus I never used my personal phone for work things and just used one of the hundreds of devices that were available for employees to use at work.
