Remove device from Company Portal for Android

  • Article

Remove an enrolled device so that it's no longer managed by your organization. After you remove the device from Company Portal:

  • The device loses access to your organization's internal apps and websites.
  • The device no longer appears in Company Portal. This applies to enrolled devices and devices you set up just to access work emails.
  • You can no longer install apps in Company Portal.
  • Setting requirements and restrictions, such as device PIN, disabling the camera, or prohibiting screenshots, are no longer enforced.

Note
