Android Setup
As of October 26, 2021, Google has made a change to their mobile management services which requires all Android users to make the following changes on their devices. If you have the old Google Apps Device Policy app installed then you need to do this. This must be done by October 26, 2021.
On your Android device, open the Google Apps Device Policy app. It's probably called "Device Policy".
Tap Unregister. Your mobilization.org work account is removed from the device.
Open the Settings app and tap Accounts.
Add your mobilization.org work account account again using account type "Google".
You will be prompted to install "Android Device Policy".
During enrollment, you must set up a work profile because it's required for Android Device Policy.
Note: If the device doesn't support Android Device Policy, you will be prompted to set up Google Apps Device Policy app instead.
