Android dedicated devices can provide powerful tools for frontline workers, but managing them efficiently is crucial. With Microsoft Intune, you can control these devices using the Managed Home Screen app.
What is Managed Home Screen?
Managed Home Screen is an app provided by Intune that allows you to configure a restricted kiosk-like experience on Android devices. This ensures users can only access the approved apps necessary for their job.
Configuring Managed Home Screen App in Intune
To get started, enroll your Android devices in dedicated device mode and configure the Managed Home Screen app settings within Intune. Assign the profile to your devices to apply the configuration.
Restricting Users to Allowed Apps Only
Create a list of approved apps for your users by assigning them as part of the Managed Home Screen app configuration in Intune. This limits access to only those apps necessary for work tasks.
Setting up Virtual Home Button and Screen Saver
Configure a virtual home button within the Managed Home Screen app settings, allowing users to navigate easily between approved apps. Additionally, set up a screen saver to save battery life when the device is idle.
Troubleshooting Managed Home Screen Launch Failures
If your users encounter issues with the Managed Home Screen launching, follow troubleshooting steps provided by Microsoft to identify and resolve common problems.
