Review summary

Reviewers largely see Android Device Policy as a company-mandated app on personal devices. Some acknowledge its corporate utility and describe it as nice or good, but many complain it cannot be uninstalled or controlled, runs as mandatory software, and raises privacy concerns about data collection. Updates are often required, and the app is viewed as wasteful on personal phones. Overall sentiment skews negative due to lack of user control and privacy fears, with limited positive acknowledgement of its corporate role.

Pros

Installed for Company. thanks
Nice app
Good

Cons

Cannot uninstall or disable; appears mandatory
Privacy concerns: perceived data collection and spying
Mandatory for work/school; not optional
Forced updates; not able to skip
Unwanted on personal devices, takes up storage and feels like bloatware

2026-09-11	Ma*****	This app is not doing it's job the correct way at all.It is blocking me from updating my new TCL K70 phone that has Android 16 on it.I know how to update all of my apps and phone updates as well too. Maybe this app is no more than a spying app for Google or Android who knows right.I see why everyone loves Samsung Galaxy S series phones for now, Because they will let you get your update on time.Looks to me that Android 16 is the worst OS that Android has ever made for any kind of device. TakeCare

2026-09-11	An*****	Google you just broke android well done, I bought a ZTE Blade A36 running Android 15, my old phone was android 14. it seems you blocked us from installing apps from other sources, I can't even install device policy from play Store, and other apps I used to have from play Store. the main reason I used android was for its flexibility. now you went and broke it just like it's a icrap. I will put a hammer to this garbage today and thank you for wasting my money. I will warn everyone on social media.

2026-09-11	la*****	I never downloaded this and I want it removed! I am not a developer and don't want to be! What I want as a customer of Google is when setup for your account is presented and I pick the option personal! That's what I expect!!! Not forced to use Google workspace that again (PERSONAL) is not a personal account! I do not appreciate being forced to use a service that takes over my device and my account and treats me like a child and controls what I do, who I talk to, my bedtime and so on like a child
