Images app on Corporate owned fully managed Andoroid

Question

Hi

We have several Android devices (Nokia and Samsung) which are corporate owned fully managed user devices. We join them to MEM using the afw#setup method.

I just noticed that these device do not include the default Images/Gallery/Photos app. When users take picture using the device camera, they can't preview that image. Every phone includes an default app, to view images but when I join them to MEM, device do not include an ap to view images??

Image is found via Files app.

How could I enable the device default Images app??

@IMK Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

If you want to use native apps on android fully managed devices, it is suggested to try to deploy Android Enterprise system apps via intune.

I found someone has discussed this. Please refer to the following link:

Based on my research, this issue is related to QR code. The default QR code doesn't include system apps. It is needed to edit the QR code and enable system apps. For more details, please read the following article:

Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

Please choose one method to try and hope it will give you some ideas.
