My company just started requiring Microsoft Intune Company Portal app to use Teams and Outlook. From a friend in IT infosec at another company said the app can push apps, require certain settings, password requirements, or OSs, and can see a lot of stuff on your phone. I don't think this level of intrusion into my personal phone is warranted or ethical. Be warned. I'm just going to uninstall and suffer the internal political consequences.

It gets way worse from there. Managed apps like Teams and Outlook now require you to unlock with fingerprint and anything you copy in Outlook, Teams or Edge can't be pasted anywhere else, also you can't paste stuff from other apps into MS apps.

At least that's how it was at my company. I got a phone from them and I used it as my personal phone as well for a while but this threw me over the edge at some point.
