We have a problem with Samsung devices. Our App Protection Policy in Intune is set to allow only approved keyboards. Unfortunately it looks like native Samsung kayboard is not approved (default Package ID entry for Samsung keyboard is: com.sec.android.inputmethod and it's set to be approved). Is there any other Package ID for Samsung keyboards that we will be able to use or we missed something in our policy? Thanks in advance!

    com.samsung.android.honeyboard is now included by default on new Android policies.

    The Approved Keyboards setting having default-approved keyboards is pretty much a fail. I would have thought the point of the feature was to prevent companies like Samsung from collecting users' passwords, which they do. The default list should be empty if you ask me, and maybe a list of suggested common ones could be shown instead of default-approving keyboards.
